FAMOUS SIGHTS

THE MAGNIFICENT TOWER OF PISA

The leaning tower of Pisa in Italy was built in 1173. This is a cylindrical building which consists of 8 floors and its height is 55,2 meters. It’s bent to the east, which started from the year of its design, because of the subsidence of the ground, and continued to become bigger during the next centuries. In the nineteenth century, there had been many attempts for its support and lightening and they took off the two heavy bells which were on the highest floor. This place is definitely an amazing site for someone who likes well–worth visits.
