Art History Tour: Pisa


We stopped at Pisa for about an hour on our way to the coast from Florence. Here is the tower. It stands 23 feet off vertical. It began listing even as they were building it, yet they kept building. The did try to fix it, but it still leans and requires a vertical cable to keep it from squashing someone.
