Torre pendente di Pisa

Okay, the leaning tower of Pisa does not really lean this much. That was just an extremely fancy camera trick.
It really leans about this much. It is 186.02 feet on the high side, 183.27 feet on the low side.
It is the free-standing bell tower associated with this cathedral. Built in 1173. No more factoids!! I can't help it, I just read the Wikipedia article!
