Now you can build history’s most famous bell tower and learn how the famous lean started. Now you can make this unusual building in LEGO® bricks! Construction was started over 800 years ago when the Widow Berta of Bernado left 60 gold coins in her will that paid for the first stones and started the building of the Tower. The Leaning Tower of Pisa has a trademark tilt that has seen it reproduced on postcards and souvenirs all over the world.

It lost a further 4 cm of tilt in the two decades to 2018. In 1990 the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees, but following remedial work between 19 this was reduced to 3.97 degrees, reducing the overhang by 45 cm at a cost of £200m. Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons (16,000 short tons). The tower has 296 or 294 steps the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m (8 ft 0.06 in). The height of the tower is 55.86 metres (183.27 feet) from the ground on the low side and 56.67 metres (185.93 feet) on the high side. It gradually increased until the structure was stabilized (and the tilt partially corrected) by efforts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
The tilt increased in the decades before the structure was completed in the 14th century. The tower's tilt began during construction in the 12th century, caused by an inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side to properly support the structure's weight. The tower is situated behind the Pisa Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in the city's Cathedral Square ( Piazza del Duomo), after the cathedral and the Pisa Baptistry. The Leaning Tower of Pisa or simply the Tower of Pisa is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa, known worldwide for its unintended tilt.
