Construction on the tower began in 1173 as the bell tower for the city's cathedral but due to war it was interrupted for 100 years. The soft ground caused the tower to begin tilting as construction progressed on the third floor.

    İNFORMATİONS:
    The construction of the tower took 199 years.
    After the completion of the third floor, the Leaning
    Tower of Pisa, which started to lean towards the
    south, is located in Piazza dei Miracoli, known as the

    separately from the cathedral, its construction began
    in 1173

    It collapsed during construction because the


    ground on which it was located was soft. This

    recommendation: I think if you go to İtaly, you need to see this building.it is very
    impressive
