The Leaning Tower of Pisa {Famous Sights Post}

by Szabi, 8th grade



In Italy you can see a lot of famous buildings, but there’s something BIG, BEAUTIFUL and hard to make: the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It looks like it would be ready to fall over and that’s why I think, building the tower was very hard.

Location:Pisa, Italy

Construction: Construction of the tower occurred in three stages over 199 years. Work on the ground floor of the white marble campanile began on August 14, 1173 during a period of military success and prosperity. This ground floor is a blind Arcade articulated by engaged columns with classical Corinthian

The architect was Bonnano Pisano who was a sculptor
