Leaning Pisa Bell Tower Details and History
The Pisa campanile stands 197 feet tall with a 50 foot diameter, built in white marble. It leans several feet from true vertical due to a measurement error that was mitigated later by adjustments in higher stones and counterbalancing bells. Seven bells sit atop the tower, the heaviest weighing 2,009 pounds, arranged to offset the tilt as much as possible.
