Top Tourist Attractions in Italy

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Leaning Tower of Pisa  or simply the Tower of Pisa  is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa, known worldwide for its unintended slope to one side.

The height of the tower is 55.86 meters  from the ground on the low side and 56.67 meters on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m . Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons .

The tower has 296 or 294 steps. 

The seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. Prior to restoration work performed between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees.
Many ideas have been suggested to straighten the Tower of Pisa, including taking it apart stone by stone and rebuilding it at a different location.In the 1920s the foundations of the tower were injected with cement grouting that has stabilized the tower to some extent.
Until recent years tourists were not allowed to climb the staircase inside the tower, due to consolidation work.
But now the leaning Tower of Pisa is open again and it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy.
