The Leaning Tower of Pisa is truly one of medieval Europe's most iconic architectural wonders. Standing tall at 60 meters, this tower has captured the imaginations of travelers worldwide with its famous tilt. Up until 1990, it leaned at an incredible 10-degree angle, a quirky characteristic that makes it both a marvel and a mystery.
When you visit, you can't help but be captivated by its unique charm. The tower's lean isn't just an optical illusion; it's the result of an uneven foundation and soft ground. This fascinating flaw has turned it into a beloved symbol of resilience. While in Pisa, take a moment to explore the surrounding Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage site that boasts stunning architecture and a rich history. The area is perfect for an afternoon stroll or a leisurely picnic, with plenty of spots to snap that perfect photo. And don't miss the chance to climb the tower itself, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the city and beyond.
