The famous structure located in Italy that leans precariously is the Leaning Tower of Pisa. This freestanding bell tower is part of the Pisa Cathedral complex and is renowned for its unintended tilt, caused by unstable foundation soil. Construction started in 1173 and spanned over 200 years, during which the tilt became apparent. The Leaning Tower stands approximately 56 meters (183 feet) tall and has eight stories. Despite its architectural challenges, it has become one of Italy's most iconic landmarks and tourist attractions, symbolizing both the beauty and imperfection of medieval architecture. Efforts to stabilize and preserve the tower continue to this day.
