When a building is famous all over the world, it's usually for an accomplishment like size, structure, or the impressive history behind it. The Leaning Tower of Pisa has a little bit of all these three, but the main reason it’s famous is in the name. After the foundation collapsed while building the second floor, the city of Pisa didn’t get discouraged and continued with the construction efforts. Standing at 185 feet 11 inches or 183 feet 3 inches if you are on the shorter side, The Leaning Tower of Pisa was finished in 1327 and still leans to this day and draws 5 million tourists annually. While it is famous for its tilt, the degree at which it leans fluctuates throughout history. Each passing decade saw the tower lean more and more until this issue had to be resolved in the 1990s. They removed solid underneath the taller side and placed some counterweights over the foundation and it is reported that the tower will be stable for another 3 centuries. #pisa #architecture Join our YouTube channel by clicking here: https://bit.ly/3asNo2n Find us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3PM21xW Find us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/3t2Huvb Find us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/3wQfXzA Find us on TikTok: https://bit.ly/3wNsBOu Get the latest stories: https://interestingengineering.com/ Support IE for high-quality journalism: https://interestingengineering.com/subscribe
