Officially called as Torre Pendente di Pisa, or leaning tower of Pisa, this old architecture marvel is also called as free-standing campanile or bell tower of saint Mary. It is located in Piazza dei Miracoli in the city of Pisa.
The construction of The Leaning Tower of Pisa is believed to have started in the year 1173 and continued for over two hundred years.
The leaning tower of pisa consists of eight stories, about 55 meters in height. The tower’s lean is measured to be around 13 feet, and was reduced to 11 feet in 2001. Next to the tower, stand the elegant 11th-century Gothic Cathedral and the Baptistry.
For its grandeur, beauty and architectural skills, it is rightly given the honor as one of the seven wonders of the world.
