Another Italian building that I find intriguing is the
Leaning Tower of Pisa in Pisa, Italy. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is actually a
free standing bell tower made for the Cathedral in Pisa. Its sideways tilt is
due to the fact that the ground was too soft on one side of the structure during
construction to support the building. The building itself is characteristic of
Roman architecture, incorporating symmetry, geometry, and arches. The Leaning
Tower of Pisa, despite its flaws, is still a beautiful piece of construction
that stands tall and proud today.
