The Leaning Tower of Pisa, originally intended as a bell tower for Pisa Cathedral, stands as one of the world’s most beloved architectural mistakes. Located in the heart of Pisa, Italy, this UNESCO World Heritage Site has become an iconic symbol with its distinctive tilt. Visitors can explore the tower’s interior and climb the 294-step spiral staircase to enjoy panoramic views over the city. The tower’s unique angle also makes it a popular spot for playful photo opportunities, where travelers often pose as if they are holding up the structure.
