[Pisa's Duomo Square]

Piazza del Duomo, located in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy

This is a square where the Duomo (cathedral) built with white marble, the bell tower known as the leaning tower, the baptistery, and the ossuary stand on green grass

It is also called the "Square of Miracles" because of its harmonious beauty

It is also registered as a World Heritage Site

The symbolic Leaning Tower of Pisa is the bell tower of the Pisa Cathedral

The reason for the leaning is that construction began in 1173, but the soil of this land was soft and it was difficult to build a building 55 meters tall with the technology at the time

It seems that it started to lean during construction

Even after completion, the leaning gradually became more and more severe, but the leaning was improved by correction work that began in 1991
