Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: Torre pendente di Pisa Torre di Pisa) The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the freestanding bell tower of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa, located in Piazza dei Miracoli, north of the city of Pisa, Tuscany, Italy. It is one of the four buildings in Piazza dei Miracoli and a symbol of the city of Pisa. Architectural style: The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a Romanesque building, emphasizing symmetry, thickness, and solidity. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a four-story building made of white Apennine marble. The thickness of the walls between each floor is different, with the thickest at the bottom and the thinnest at the top. The exterior decoration of the tower is simple, without too many details. Building materials: The Leaning Tower of Pisa is made of marble, and white marble is used as the main building material. This material gives the tower an elegant appearance and makes it shine with a unique light in the sun. Architectural design: The original intention of the design of the Leaning Tower of Pisa was to serve as the bell tower of the Pisa Cathedral. Its design is unique and ingenious. The tower is 58.36 meters high, 55 meters high from the ground to the top of the tower, the width of the bell tower wall on the ground is 4.09 meters, the width at the top of the tower is 2.48 meters, and the circular foundation area is 285 square meters. The uniqueness of the Leaning Tower of Pisa lies in its tilted appearance. The tower body tilts to the southeast, with a tilt angle of about 3.9 degrees. This tilt is due to the uneven settlement of the foundation and the softness of the soil layer, but it is this tilt that makes the Leaning Tower of Pisa one of the wonders of world architectural history.
