The Leaning Tower of Pisa, known as "Torre Pendente di Pisa" in Italian, is a freestanding bell tower located in Pisa, Italy. It is famous for its unintended tilt, which began during its construction in the 12th century due to unstable foundation soil. Standing at approximately 56 meters tall, the tower features eight stories, including the chamber for the bells.

The architectural style is Romanesque, characterized by its white and gray marble façade and a series of arcades adorned with columns. Over the centuries, various restoration efforts have helped stabilize the tower, allowing visitors to safely climb its 294 steps for stunning views of the surrounding Piazza dei Miracoli. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is not only a symbol of architectural ingenuity and resilience but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting millions of tourists each year.
