| 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 has been reopened this
summer.
The tower is a hollow cylinder 16m (52 feet) in
diameter and 55m (180 feet) tall.
