Pisa Tower

This is a monument that stirs the imagination of both young and old people, being visited by thousands of people monthly. This construction of this interesting tower was started in 1174 by Bonanno Pisano. An unfortunate event happened when the tower reached its third story as the works ceased and the construction began sinking into the ground. The tower remained in this state for 90 years! It was finally completed by Giovanni di Simone and Tommano Simone (son of Andreo Pisano) and it was crowned the tower with the belfry in the middle of the 14th century.

If you want to go to the top of the Leaning Tower you will have to mount not less than 294 steps placed in the form of a spiral inside the tower.

This great monument is of Romanesque style, it has a cylindrical shape and it has six open galleries. These galleries are separated by a cornice and each presents a series of small arches fitted on the capitals of the slender columns. At the base of the monument you will see a series of big blind arcades beautifully decorated.

Even though it’s a real architectural masterpiece, this tower is mostly renowned for it’s strong inclination. The story is that this inclination is due to the sinking of the ground from the early stages of its construction – so the tower wasn’t built inclined, as some might state.

We think that this monument has to be on everyone’s “must see” list, and as soon as possible, because, unfortunately, it continues to sink about 1mm every year. Meantime, officials supervise the construction with instruments of very high precision.
