The building began leaning as soon as the building reached the second floor in 1178.
The building of the Leaning Tower began in August 1173 with the building of the ground floor. Meaning, the top part of the tower is horizontally displaced at about 12 feet from the center. Before the restoration work in 19, the structure had leaned at 5.5° but after the restoration, the building now leans at 3.990°. It has between 294 to 296 steps, with the 7th floor having fewer steps. The base of the building is 8 feet wide and it weighs approximately 14,500 metric tons. The Tower of Pisa is about 183.2 feet tall on the lower side and 185.9 feet on the higher side. The Tower of Pisa took about 344 years to be built. It was only stabilized in the early 21st century. The degree of the tilt increased over the years until the completion of the building 14th century. The ground on one of the sides of the building was too soft to support the structure’s weight.
The tower was constructed in the 12th century and began tilting almost immediately in the process of construction due to the inadequate foundation. The Tower of Pisa is located behind the Pisa Cathedral and is among the oldest buildings in the Pisa Cathedral Square. As the name suggests, the tower actually leans on one of the sides. The Leaning Tower of Pisa, simply known as Tower of Pisa, is a bell tower.
