The tower of Pisa, also known as the leaning tower of Pisa, is a famous landmark in the city of Pisa, Italy. It is the bell tower of the cathedral of Pisa, and it is part of a complex of buildings called the Piazza dei Miracoli, or the Square of Miracles. The tower was built in the 12th and 13th centuries, and it is known for its tilt, which is caused by the uneven settling of the foundation on the soft soil. The tower leans about 4 degrees from the vertical, and it has been stabilized by various engineering interventions over the years.
