Near the east end of the cathedral in Pisa stands the celebrated Leaning Tower (Torre Pendente), a campanile built between 1173 and 1350, with a series of several superimposed pillared galleries. The tower, which was built on alluvial land, leans to the southeast and is about 5°30' off the vertical; at present the north side of the tower is 56.5m/186.5ft high while the south side measures only 54.25m/179ft.
From the platform (294 steps) there are magnificent views of the whole town.
