Best Answer

The tower is actually now fairly stable after many decades of restoration and engineering, but continues to lean at an angle. When the first three floors of the tower were built, it was found the tower was sinking into the ground on one side. Construction was halted for almost a century, which allowed the ground to settle and later support four more levels.

How was the Pisa tower bent?

The tower is not bent. It is leaning, hence the name "Leaning Tower of Pisa". It is leaning because it was not built on stable grounds. The earth beneath it has compressed from the weight, and has probably been washed by rains, as well.
