| The
Leaning Tower of Pisa The Leaning Tower
of Pisa has been leaning almost since building started in
1173
In 1990 it was closed to the public because it was leaning too
much!
But following engineering work to return it to an angle of 85° it
was reopened.
The tower is a hollow cylinder 16m (52 feet) in
diameter and 55m (180 feet) tall.
