Leaning Tower of Pisa
Italy's slanted landmark
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a medieval bell tower in Pisa, Italy, famous for tilting dramatically to one side due to unstable foundation soil.
Construction began in 1173 and the lean developed during building.
The tower has become an iconic symbol of Italy and a popular tourist destination, often photographed with visitors posing as if holding it up.
