1064:Construction of the Cathedral of Pisa begins.

The Tower of Pisa was intended to be a bell tower for this

cathedral.

1173:the tower of Pisa began constructing.the design has been long credited to a man named Guglielmo and to
Bonanno Pisano. The original design was supposed to be a bell house. It was ordered to be built by the Catholic
Church.The ground underneath the tower consists of soft soil, causing the tower to start leaning even during the
early stages of construction.

1178:the tower begins to sync after construction has been processed to the second floor. This was due to a
design that was flawed from the beginning. The tower was upright for five years, but when the third floor was
made a begun to lean, this is also when the fourth floor was made.

1233:the workers Benenato, son of Gerardo spezial, oversaw the continuing of the construction of the tower

1260:Gulio speziale,son of Giovanni Pisano, was selected to oversee the tower’s construction

1264:the master building Givovanni di Simone,architect of the camposanto, and 23 workers of St.Francesco

1272-1278:construction continue under Di Simone. In an effort to compensate for the tilts, the engineers built the
upper floor with one side taller than the other because of this the tower was curved. Between these two years is
when the tower was briefly finish the fourth the fifth and the sixth floor was made.

1284:construction was halt again when the Pisans was defeated by the Genoese in the battle of Meloria

1319: The seventh floor was made. later in 1372 the bell chamber were added.

1350s:The Black Death ravages Europe, causing a halt in on many projects, including the Tower of Pisa.
1372:The eighth floor was made tower the tower of Pisa is finally completed with bell chambers. The addition of
the seventh floor, the tower that made of marble line, and stone, was finally done,but why did it take like 200
years to build? it was interrupted several times by war debt, and while engineers worked on the solution to
correct the lean.

Late 14th century - 15th century: Various attempts are made to stabilize the tower, including the addition of extra
floors and buttresses. Despite these efforts, the lean persists.

15th–16th centuries: Several attempts are made to stabilize the tower, including adding more floors and
buttresses

Early 16th century: Construction is completed with the addition of the seventh floor.

1838: The tower is closed to the public due to concerns about its stability. Several proposals to either demolish
or straighten the tower are considered but ultimately rejected.

17th–19th centuries: The Tower of Pisa gains worldwide fame for its distinctive lean. Efforts are made to stabilize
the tower, including adding more floors and buttresses. However, these attempts have limited success.

Late 19th century: Interest in stabilizing the tower grows, and various engineers propose solutions to prevent its
collapse.

1970s: The Italian government launches a major restoration project to stabilize the tower. Soil is removed from
underneath the raised end of the tower, and counterweights are installed to reduce the lean.

1987: The Tower of Pisa is declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the other buildings in the Piazza
dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles) complex.
1990s:The tower is closed to the public for first time in its history due to safety concerns. Restoration efforts
intensify, involving the application of advanced engineering techniques to further stabilize the tower and correct
its tilt.

2001: The Tower of Pisa is reopened to the public after the completion of the restoration project. It is deemed
safe for visitors, and measures are in place to prevent further leaning.

2008: Engineers announce that the Tower of Pisa has stopped moving for the first time in its history, indicating
that the stabilization efforts have been successful.

2013: The Italian government implements additional measures to monitor and maintain the stability of the tower,
including regular inspections and ongoing maintenance.

2015: The Tower of Pisa undergoes its first major cleaning and conservation effort in over a century, restoring its
marble façade to its original brilliance.

2017: A comprehensive study using advanced monitoring techniques confirms that the tower's lean has
decreased slightly since the completion of the restoration project.

2019: The Tower of Pisa celebrates its 25th anniversary since reopening to the public after restoration, marking a
quarter-century of successful preservation efforts.

2020: The COVID-19 pandemic leads to the temporary closure of the Tower of Pisa and other tourist attractions in
Italy, impacting visitor numbers and revenue.

2021: The Tower of Pisa receives funding for further research and preservation efforts, including studies to
assess the long-term effects of climate change and environmental factors on its stability.
2023: The Piazza dei Miracoli complex, including the Tower of Pisa, celebrates its 900th anniversary since the
laying of the cathedral's foundation stone, reaffirming its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.It was
supposed to be 60 meters tall (196.85 feet) but it since it lean it is , however, the highest side of the tower reaches
a mere 56.67 meters (about 186 feet), while the lowest side is 55.86m, or 183 feet.
