More about Leaning Tower of Pisa
The tilt of the Leaning Tower of Pisa resulted from an unstable foundation on soft ground, which could not support its weight. It consists of eight stories, including the chamber for the seven bells. Visitors can access the tower, though due to preservation efforts, entry is limited, and an admission fee is required. The monument is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Piazza del Duomo.
