A tower with an angle, the Leaning Tower of Pisa

#europeanarchitecture #100waysoftravel The Leaning Tower of Pisa, also known as Tower of Pisa, leans an approximate four degrees of angle. It is part of the building in the Cathedral Square including the Cathedral and Pisa Baptistry. It has a height of 55.86 meters on the low side and 56.67 meters on the higher side. One very interesting fact of the tower is that Galileo once dropped rwo cannonballs of different masses from the top of the tower to demonstrate the scientific law of the free fall. This tower is more than 800 years old upon the starting of constructions in 1172. Interestingly as well, everybody will do a both hands leaning post to demonstrate the holding of the leaning tower.
