Leaning Tower Of Pisa – Accidental Fame
On a sunny day of March on every street, after an hour on a train departing from the neighboring city of Florence, I ran into the face of the famous leaning tower of Pisa.
Leaning Tower of Pisa - accidental fame
Surely no one is unfamiliar with the name Pisa - the leaning tower is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, I even bet that each person has at least once seen the image of the tower somewhere in books or movies. image. Famous as it is, but before now I still wondered why the tower was structured so strange. It was my curiosity why the tower was tilted that prompted me to take a train to visit this beautiful land as soon as I got the chance
Close-up of Italy's famous leaning tower of Pisa.
When I stepped into the Pizza del Miracoli (magic square), where the leaning tower of Pisa is located, all I could do was say, "Oh, beautiful!". Not only me, but my friends and tourists, all were amazed at the beauty of these beautiful campuses
Most people focus their attention on the strange leaning tower that few people notice that the tower is only one of the four works in the same Piazza del Miracoli, including: church, baptismal house, meaning page and bell tower.
You will be amazed at the fact that the Tower of Pisa was built to adorn the church's bell tower. But look, how the small bell tower has brought fame to the land of Pisa as well as to Italy!
Actually, the leaning tower of Pisa was built with the purpose of being the bell tower for the Church of Santa Maria Assunta… The leaning tower is due to… not careful calculation!
The story of the leaning tower of Pisa begins in 1173, when construction began. Five years later, the new bell tower completed three of the total eight floors as draft, however, right now, the whole tower began to lean north. Until the completion of all eight floors of the tower and many unsuccessful attempts to repair the project, each year the tower leaned a little more. In 1990, the tilt was up to 5.5 degrees, the plane difference between the top of the tower and the base of the tower was 4.6 meters
Moreover, experts estimate that the leaning tower of Pisa will be stable for at least 200 years, so visiting the leaning tower at this time is still extremely safe.
The explanation for the gradual inclination of the tower over time is due to topographic features of the city of Pisa, which has a soft ground with main components of clay, sand, and mud. In addition, the inaccurate calculation of the architects is also the cause of the strange shape of the tower today.
Everyone who comes here wants to take a unique photo of the leaning tower.
In Italy there is a very odd rumor: if you are a student and climb all 274 stairs to reach the top of the Tower of Pisa, you will… have a hard time graduating! It sounds irrelevant, but with the mentality of "having a holy worship, a good abstinence", I decided to only look at Pisa from the outside, though regretful of the opportunity to go to the top of the tower to see the whole city.
The famous Piazza del Miracoli square is considered to be an extremely important religious center. That is why the works here have a very special meaning: they represent the main stages of each person's life. The Baptistery represents birth, the Church of Santa Maria Assunta is the meaning of life, and the cemetery (Camposanto) certainly represents death.
The architecture both inside and outside of these works is also extremely special and beautiful, making you sure to admire.
The baptismal house in Mystery Square.
Because they are built on the soft ground, if you pay attention, you will find that the church and the baptismal house are not straight. However, these two structures are built on a large area so they cannot be tilted to the side like Pisa's tower, so they cannot be famous as the leaning tower.
An 'endless' day in Rome
The last point in the days of exploring Europe, we stopped in Italy, at the place where "all roads lead to Rome."
