The Tower of Pisa
History of Manuella - Santa Catarina, Brasil
The Tower of Pisa is one of the most famous architectural structures in the world and an icon of the city of Pisa in the Tuscany region of Italy. What makes the tower so well known is its characteristic tilt, which makes it look like it's about to fall. Its construction began in 1173, as part of an architectural complex that included the Cathedral of Pisa and the Baptistery.
