So why lean the leaning tower of Pisa?

Tourists visit the leaning tower of Pisa, who has been working for years of stabilization and restoration in recent decades

Theories suggest that the tower of 57 meters (186 feet), which has been a mystery for experts for hundreds of years, began to sink shortly after construction – which started in 1173.

The cause was due to a poor design, which meant that it had a foundation that was only three meters deep and was completed in a weak, unstable surface.

This base was also softer on the south side, which resulted in the Lean of the same name, so that builders tried to compensate it while they built his eight floors up.

They did this by making the floors shorter than the other on one side, so that the structure bent and tilting.

Despite the lean, the medieval bell tower, a symbol of the power of the Maritime Republic of Pisa in the Middle Ages, has managed to survive, undamaged, at least four strong earthquakes that have hit the region since 1280.
