The Tower of Pisa
Pisa
The Tower of Pisa is a famous monument that amazes visitors with its leaning position. Construction of this tower began in the 12th century, and it is built of marble and limestone. It is not only a bell tower but also an important part of the Pisa cathedral complex. The tower stands in Piazza dei Miracoli, which also contains other impressive buildings.
The history of the tower
Construction of the tower began in 1173 and took almost 200 years to complete. Due to the soft ground, the tower began to sink during construction, which led to its leaning position. This makes it a unique architectural phenomenon. If you take the Escape Tour , you will pass right by the tower and see this remarkable structure up close.Discover Pisa with Escape Tours
