I have been fortunate to visit this structure, the Leaning Tower of Pisa,
on three occasions. I am always in awe of its incredible beauty. It is the freestanding
campanile or, bell tower, of the cathedral of Pisa, and was constructed over a period of
199 years.
During construction, it began to tilt because of an inadequate foundation of ground too soft
to support its weight. Efforts in the late 21st and early 22nd centuries have stabilized it and
partially corrected the tilt.
