the pisa towe is the steeple of the nearby cathedral.
there is an insciption near the basement that says "A.D. MCLXXIV. CAMPANILE HOC FUIT FUNDATUM MENSE AUGUSTI" meaning that it was founded in august 1174. this date refers to the beginning of the contruction but it soon became clear that the terrain was not stable enough (or the foundations were not well built), while completing the third floor, the terrain collapsed and the tower started to lean on a side so the construction was suspended. every now and then some brave architects tried to complete it adding other floors with an curve that was supposed to balance the inclination; and the bells were finally added in 1360 by Tommaso Pisano. in the XIX century some excavations around the basement accelerated the inclination that now has been slowed down with different methods.

The construction of the Tower of Pisa was performed in three stages over a period of about 200 years. Construction of the first floor of the white marble campanile began on August 9, 1173, a period of military success and prosperity. This first floor is surrounded by pillars with classical capitals, leaning against blind arches.
