Pisa, Italy
It took from 1173 to 1274 to build the tower, and it was already
leaning
before they finished. There's a fence around the "low" side and
a 16 foot
difference top to bottom (lean)! They've stacked a lot of concrete weights
on the "high" side and attached two bands around the tower with
four long
cables which disappear over the roof of someones' house! It's built on sand
and clay. |
