It is the town symbol. It was built in 1173 as the free standing bell tower of the Pisa Cathedral and although intended to stand vertically, the soft grounds caused the tower to lean few years later its erection. It is entirely decorated with round arches loggias in Pisa Romanesque style with the exception of the ground floor ornated with blind arches. Many engineers have worked to prevent the tower to sink further into the soil and the situation seems to be under control, now. Tourist are allowed to enter the tower again, after a period no-admission policy.
