LEANING TOWER OF PISA

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a

freestanding bell tower known worldwide
for its unintended tilt. It took 199 years to
build the Leaning Tower of Pisa, beginning
in August 1173. The construction was
stopped twice, the first time for 100 years,
the second time in 1284. Both times it was
due to wars. The tower is 8 stories high,
55.86 m (183.27 ft) on the low side and
56.67 m (185.93 ft) on the high side.
Germans used the tower as a lookout
during World War II. The Allies knew this
but decided against bombing the area due
to the impressive beauty of the tower and
cathedral. Seven bells sit in the bell-
chamber at the top of the tower, one bell
for each note of the musical major scale.
