Why Was The Tower Of Pisa Built4/13/2021
The tower started to lean during construction because the foundation was built on soft ground that had difficulty supporting the weight.The lean became worse as construction continued for several decades.Between 1990 and 2001 it was stabilized and the lean was partially fixed.Thats a lot of weight for a building to have to support when it has been leaning since it was built.
Once the Allies saw how beautiful the tower was they refrained from destroying it. This sped up the restoration efforts for the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It is thought that the restoration will keep the Leaning Tower of Pisa stable for at 300 years more. This is the first time in its history that it has not been slowly leaning further to one side. The hundred years it had to sit helped to let it settle (compact). The people have Pisa had said they would rather see it fall over than be straightened. After all, how could you call it the Leaning Tower of Pisa if it didnt lean.
