Leaning Tower of Pisa: History, Facts, and Tourist Attraction
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a renowned architectural marvel located in the Italian city of Pisa. Construction of the tower began in the 12th century and was completed over a span of about 200 years. The distinctive lean of the tower is due to an inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side to properly support the structure’s weight. Despite numerous efforts to correct its tilt, including the removal of soil from underneath the foundations, the tower still leans at an angle of 3.97 degrees. The tower’s iconic lean has made it a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of engineering miscalculation turned cultural icon.
