The Leaning Tower of Pisa is situated in Campo dei Miracoli (field of Miracles). The people of Pisa don’t just like the leaning tower, they really adore it.

The History of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is equally strange for most of people. It all started as a bell tower in 1173 for Pisa’s Cathedral, it wasn’t until five years later began to tilt downward, right after the third floor was completed.

The Tower was built with a dense of clay mixture that was not strong enough to hold the bell tower and the construction was said to be halted for nearly one hundred (100) years.

After a hundred years, the history of Leaning Tower of Pisa took another step, architech Giovanni di Simone completed an additional four more floors. At last, in 1372, the bell chamber was then attached to the top and the tower was gratefully left alone until the 19th century, giving it the shape that is memorialized in so many ceramic leaning tower of Pisa souvenirs across the world. In 1838, architech Alessandro Gerardesca decided it was perfectly good idea dig out a walkway around the tower so that tourists or visitors could see its carefully crafted base part. Another architect Benito Mussolini tried to straightening the tower. He ordered the foundation to be filled in with concrete, but then the concrete sunk into the wet clay and the leaning tower continued its prolonged fall towards the ground. Finally, after a combination of counterweights, slings and excavated soils have stabilized one of the famous buildings in the world.
