The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the world's most spectacular tourist attractions, situated in fascinating Italian city of Pisa. One of the most remarkable campaniles or bell towers in Europe, the Tower of Pisa is situated just behind the beautiful Romanesque style Pisa Cathedral. Its construction began on August 09, 1173 AD and the infamous tilt was soon discovered in 1178 AD, however, its architects decided to continue with the project regardless. Some historians believe that the inclination of the Tower of Pisa was part of the original architect's design, but now it's confirmed that it was not so.
All throughout its construction years and over the centuries later, many attempts have been made to halt its inclination, with an aim to increase its lifespan. But most of us will agree that in its curious inclination lies its beauty, which never fails to fascinate thousands of its visitors from worldwide destinations.
