One of Italy’s most popular and photographed buildings, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is known worldwide for its tilting position. Located in the city of Pisa in central Italy, the famous landmark is the campanile, or bell tower, of the surrounding cathedral and piazza complex known as Campo dei Miracoli, or Field of Miracles.A fine example of Romanesque architecture, the landmark was constructed in three stages over a period of 200 years beginning in 1173. Just two years after the initial construction, the tower began to tilt due to an unstable foundation of soft ground and was left alone for almost a century. When the construction resumed the engineers built higher floors with one side taller than the other to compensate for the tilt and the tower was finally finished in the 2nd half of the 14th century. While the tower now leans at about 4 degrees, it has been stabilized by cement injections in the 1920s.The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a circular tower standing about 183 feet (56 meters) high and featuring eight stories, 207 columns and a bell chamber. Since 2001, the famous tower is again open to those wishing to climb it’s 296 steps to the top.Nearby the tower are several souvenir stands, eateries and a few restaurants.
