Leaning tower of Pisa
Of all the
characteristic towers throughout the world "la Torre
Pendente" (Leaning Tower) of Pisa Tuscany, rouses in our mind a
striking sense of astonishment owing to its exquisite beauty
and peculiar static's. It has been erected beside the
Cathedral, the Baptistery and Cemetery, pure jewels of the Pisan Romanic architecture on that marvellous square,
rightly called "Plaza of the Miracles" (Piazza dei Miracoli).

The Tower of Pisa was built to show the rest of the world
the wealth of the city of Pisa. The people of Pisa were very
good sailors and they conquered many lands, including
Jerusalem, Carthago, Ibiza, Mallorca, Africa, Belgium,
Britania, Norway, Spain, Morocco, and other places. But they
had only one real enemy, the people from Florence. And to
show how well they were doing they started to build a really
useless bell tower to go with the rest of the buildings near
it the Cathedral, Baptistery, and Cemetery.
