12th-Century Marvel with a History of Lean & Restoration

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a famous bell tower located in the city of Pisa, Italy. It was originally constructed in the 12th century and is known for its unique leaning structure, which was caused by a soft foundation on one side of the tower. The tower stands at 56 meters tall and originally had eight floors, but due to its leaning structure, the top floor was removed in the 1300s in an effort to stabilize the tower.


The tower was closed to the public in 1990 due to safety concerns, but extensive restoration work was carried out and it was reopened in 2001. Today, visitors can climb the tower's 294 steps to the top, which offers panoramic views of Pisa and the surrounding countryside. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a popular tourist attraction and is recognized as one of the world's most iconic structures.
