The Pisa Cathedral's bell tower, known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, was built over 800 years ago, beginning in 1173. Designed to be perfectly vertical, it began to lean during construction due to unstable foundation soil. Despite numerous attempts at stabilization and restoration, the tower remains tilted, making it a remarkable architectural anomaly and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, it attracts millions of visitors who marvel at its unintended yet iconic lean.
What kind of soil was the Leaning Tower of Pisa built on?
Clay
Why is the tower of Pisa tilted?
Because when they built the tower after the third floor, they tried to correct the inclination to keep the center of weight well inside the basement. The result is that the tower is slightly banana-shaped. We can appreciate the different inclination in particular on the last floor. If the tower was straightened completely, the center of weight will cause the tower to fall on the opposite side.
