Leaning Tower of Pisa

Overview

Construction on La Torre di Pisa began in August 1173, and at first the tower did not have a tilt. It wasn’t until workers completed three floors of the tower that its now-famous lean was noticeable, leading to a halt in construction. In 1273, work on the tower began again. However, it wasn’t until 1360 that the tower was completed.
