The Leaning Tower of Pisa

On our way from Switzerland to Florence we stopped at The Leaning Tower of Pisa. I was most surprised that The Leaning Tower of Pisa is just part of an entire cathedral located in Pisa. The ‘Leaning Tower’ is the Bell Tower located on the far end of the massive dome and cathedral. I also learned that The Leaning of Pisa started leaning as they were building it as well as after it was built…and all of the cathedral is actually leaning a bit, but is harder to notice because of the extreme lean of The Tower!
