About the Place
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of Italy’s most iconic landmarks, renowned worldwide for its distinctive tilt. Located in the city of Pisa, in the Tuscany region, this medieval bell tower is part of the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Construction of the tower began in 1173, but due to its weak foundation on unstable soil, the tower began to lean during its construction. Despite attempts to correct the lean, including modifications to the construction process, the tower continued to tilt over the centuries. Today, the Leaning Tower of Pisa stands as a testament to both architectural ingenuity and the forces of nature, attracting millions of visitors each year who come to marvel at its unique tilt and climb its spiral staircase for panoramic views of the city.
