Pisa Tower

Located in Pisa , Tuscany, in Italy. It's the Bell Tower of the Cathedral of the Italian City, Pisa.

They built it on 8th August 1178. The tower began to sink after construction had progressed on the second floor in 1178 because of the weak, unstable subsoil of the ground. They stopped building it till 1272, they built 4 more floors and they stopped 1301. On 1372, they built the 5th Floor and put the Bell.

Years ago and till now it's becomes the symbol of Italy. Any Tourist can visit it and go to the Top floor. You can see the Bell. This was I did when I visited Pisa September 2011.
