DNHN - Italy has long been recognized as a haven for art, gastronomy, history, fashion, and culture. It is also the country with the most heritage in the world. Among these is the architectural marvel, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It is, as the name implies, unusually inclined, and it is this one-of-a-kind time-defying aspect that makes the tower intriguing.

Mark Twain, an American writer, praised the Tower of
Pisa, calling it

Mark Twain, an American writer, praised the Tower of Pisa, calling it "the odd architecture of the world." No one anticipated the new skyscraper to become a world wonder or be designated as a cultural asset by UNESCO when it was erected.

The term also alluded to a distinguishing quality of this magnificent masterpiece. Pisa weights 14,500 tons, stands 55.86m tall, has 8 storeys, and 294 stairs from the bottom to the summit; it presently leans 5.5 degrees. But, you know what? The leaning tower used to be upright as well. Because of a miscalculation in the building's structure and the location where the ground where the tower is resting' is steadily sinking, it is becoming increasingly skewed and in risk of collapsing in the future. This has made it famous across the world, attracting a significant number of tourists.

The leaning tower has had numerous historical ups and
downs in order to stand as it does now. Construction began
on August 9, 1173, and 5 years later, when it reached the
third story, it began to tilt. The major reason was that it
was built on sinking soil, and the city of Pisa was at odds
with its neighbor Florence at the time, thus building took a
long time.

Many precautions were taken to protect the massive struc-
ture from collapsing on unstable ground, including the use

of trapezoidal stone, the creation of a curve for the tower,
the construction of one side taller than the other... There
are several speculations that it will be harmful, that the
leaning tower would be worthless... Above all, Pisa has
been present for 7-8 centuries.

If you look closely at the Miracle Square (Piazza dei
Miracoli), you will see that not only the Leaning Tower of
Pisa, but also the surrounding structures such as the church
and chapel, are not straight. Their breadth is bulging, so
there is minimal inclination, but the leaning tower stands
out due to its tall and thin shape.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is also well-known for being
the site where Galileo's experiments for his theory of mass
were conducted. Galileo was a resident of Pisa in the 16th
century when he ascended the Pisa tower and dropped two
balls of different masses from the top. From this sprang the
physics principle that we now know: the mass of an item

has no effect on the acceleration of the object's fall, imply-
ing that heavy and light things fall at the same rate.

Resilient Pisa escaped World War II bombings because the
Nazis used it as an observatory and refuge. In the 1990s,
the Pisa Tower continued to tilt by one millimeter each
year, prompting the Pisa municipal council to spend 30
million euros on repairs, which included removing 70 tons
of earth at the tilt and replacing it with cement infused with
lead to strengthen the tower's endurance.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, which is more than
600 years old, is a strong illustration of the appeal of the
slanted line that you can still be renowned and successful

with your own originality, even if you are not the most at-
tractive. And keep hope that the enchantment will protect it

from collapsing one day.

skies and joyful surroundings. This is the best moment for

tourists to completely appreciate the majesty of Pisa's lean-

Summer lasts from mid-June until mid-September, with

high temperatures occasionally exceeding 40 degrees Cel-
sius and dry, hot weather. Visitors to Italy might examine

their alternatives at this time. Autumn lasts from mid-Sep-
tember to mid-December and has cooler temperatures than

spring. Even if the temperature is a little chilly, the view is
still incredibly romantic. Visitors can travel to Italy during
the lovely fall season and explore the leaning tower of
Pisa. Furthermore, if you want to experience the beauty in
the white of snow, you may visit Italy in the winter, from
around December to mid-March next year.

It is unusual to come across a work in which the error in the construction process has transformed it into a work of human art. However, such a structure does exist in Italy. That is the tower of Pisa, Italy's architectural Pearl, which fascinates tourists not only for its beauty and mystery, but also for its highly "artistic" tilt, which has drawn the atten- tion of the whole world. So, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and head to the boot-shaped country to ap- preciate humanity's creation!
