Architecture: Roman
The Leaning Tower of Pisa freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of Pisa. It is situated behind the Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square. Although intended to stand vertically, the tower began leaning to the southeast soon after the construction in 1173, due to a poorly laid foundation.
The height of the tower is 55.86 m from the ground on the lowest side and 56.70 m on the highest side. The tower has 296 or 294 steps.

Because of how it stands - or leans, the amount of continous levels it holds without collapsing, i find the Leaning tower visually pleasing. It is a significant structure in Itailian history and holds muvh value.
