Leaning Tower of Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the of the cathedral of the Italian city of , known worldwide for its nearly four-degree lean, the result of an unstable foundation.

The height of the tower is 55.86 metres (183 feet 3 inches) from the ground on the low side and 56.67 m (185 ft 11 in) on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m (8 ft 0 in). Its weight is estimated at 14,500 tonnes (16,000 short tons). The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase.

The tower began to lean during construction in the 12th century, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's weight, and it worsened through the completion of construction in the 14th century. By 1990, the tilt had reached 5.5 degrees. The structure was stabilized by remedial work between 1993 and 2001, which reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees.

Yesterday in history... On December 26, 1855 the Second Ward Savings Bank was founded by Wilhelm Jacobs, Augustus Wilmanns and John Bertschy; Jacobs worked as the head cashier, while Wilmanns served as the president of the bank.
