Leaning Tower of Pisa located in Pisa, Italy. Pisa tower is a bell tower of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa.There has been controversy about the real identity of the architect of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. For many years, the design was attributed to Guglielmo and Bonnano Pisano. The height of the tower is 55.86 metres from the ground on the low side and 56.67 metres on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m. The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. Prior to restoration work performed between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees, but the tower now leans at about 3.99 degrees. This means that the top of the tower is displaced horizontally 3.9 metres (12 ft 10 in) from the centre. The tower's tilt began during construction, because the tower stands on soft ground in one side. So the ground can't hold the weight of the tower. But this tilt have some advantage, this tower become a unique building than can make the tourist interested to visit Italy.
