The Leaning Tower of Pisa, also known as Torre Pendente di Pisa, is one of the world's most recognizable structures. This free standing Campanile, or bell tower, of the Cathedral St. Mary Pisa, is located in Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) in Pisa, Italy. Construction of the tower began on August 9, 1173 and was not completed until 1372. During this time there were several stops in construction, most notably those due to wars with Firenze in 1178 and 1185 and also the War with Genoa in 1284. |
