    Pisa (IT)

    August 5, 2017 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    It is believed that the city of Pisa was founded on the shore and was a maritime city, however with sediment deposits it now lies 10km inland from the shore.

    Known worldwide for its leaning tower. The tower at its worst was leaning at 5.5 degrees. Work was done to stabilize the lean, and the lean is now stable at 4 degrees. The top of the tower is off-center by 3.9 meters.

    Not only does the tower lean, but also the Baptistery which has a lean of 0.6 degrees.
