Italy - Leaning Tower of Pisa straightened by 4 cm

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is an architectural beauty and one of the wonders of the world. The very fault of its unintended tilt in it makes it a distinct feature.

 

The construction for the tower began in the 12th century. Due to an inadequate foundation, the tower began tilting and continued tilting after decades. However, now after 17 years of restoration by Italian engineers, the tower has now straightened up by 4 cm.

 

Reportedly, the tower is now stable. Before restoration, the tower was tilted by 5.5 degrees. Now it has been narrowed to 3.99 degrees.
