Leaning Tower Of Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is amongst the most famous architectural landmarks of Italy. It is known as ‘La Torre Pendente’ in Italian.It weighs around 14,500 tonnes and leans at a 10 degree angle. It stands on a clay foundation.Once the tower began to lean, the construction was halted for 100 years. Engineers hoped that the clay beneath the tower would settle and become hard enough to permit further construction. It was estimated that the lean was increasing by one inch every 20 years. Today, the engineers believe that it is safe for at least another 300 years.
