Almost everyone knows about the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but there are a number of things that remain in the shadows. For example, why was the tower built, what does it look like inside, and in which direction is it actually falling now?
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the brightest representatives of the classic long-term construction – it was built almost 200 years ago. It is known only who gave the first money for the construction – a local widow named Bertha di Bernardo donated 60 silver coins in early 1172. True, construction began only on August 9, 1173.
