Have you ever been to Leaning Tower of Pisa?

The construction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa began in August 1173.
It was interrupted several times by wars, debt and while engineers worked on solutions to correct the lean.

We now know that without these interruptions that allowed the soil to compress under the tower, it would have certainly toppled over.
Pisa Tower was eventually completed in the mid-1300s.

The Tower of Pisa is the churches belltower. The city of Pisa was at the beginning a simple but important Italian seaport. With its growth, so did its religious buildings.
Its fame and power grew gradually over the years, as the people of Pisa were involved in various military conflicts and trade agreements.

The Pisans attacked the city of Palermo on the island of Sicily in 1063. The attack was successful and the conquerors returned to Pisa with a great deal of treasure.

To show the world just how important the city was, the people of Pisa decided to build a great cathedral complex, the Field of Miracles. The plan included a cathedral, a baptistery, a bell tower (the Tower of Pisa) and a cemetery.
