Leaning Tower of Pisa
Pisa, Florence

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the freestanding bell tower belonging to the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. Built on poor foundations back in 1173, the tower began leaning to the southeast. In recent years work has taken place to slow down this process. The tower is 55.86 m from the ground on the lowest side and 56.70 m on the highest side. The tower has 294 steps. Galileo Galilei is said to have dropped two cannon balls of different masses from the tower to demonstrate that their descending speed was independent of their mass.
