Leaning Tower of Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa, aka The Leaning Tower, is a grandiose mistake of the builders, which, contrary to logic, became one of the symbols of Italy and became famous all over the world. It was built in two stages, for almost two centuries. Already in the process of construction it became clear that the tower takes on an unnatural slope, but, nevertheless, by 1360 it was completely completed. Since then, and to this day, work has been constantly underway to strengthen the tower. But all efforts remain in vain - the tower continues to deviate from the vertical at a rate of 1.2 mm per year.

One day the Leaning Tower of Pisa will fall, and until then tourists will arrange pilgrimages to this Wonder of the World, whose floors are bordered by elegant decorative arcades, and from the top a ringing bell rings.
