Torre pendente di Pisa, Tower of Pisa
Italy, Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, designed by Bonano Pisano. The construction of the tower began in 1173 and took almost 200 years to complete. The bell tower is built of white marble in the Romanesque style, its height at its highest point is exactly 56.7 m. The Leaning Tower of Pisa has become world famous due to its slope caused by the softness of the ground. The process of "falling" was finally completed only by 2008, its slope is estimated at three degrees.

“There is no evil without good, ” says folk wisdom. And she, this wisdom, as you know, is not mistaken. This is what happened in the ancient Italian city of Pisa, where, thanks to the problems that arose during construction, the result became not only world famous, but also an excellent business project. In short, the Pisans wanted to build the city's Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. But not just a cathedral, but a whole complex, which would include, among other things, a bell tower of gigantic, at that time, size.
