A view of the Cathedral of Pisa from the baptistery to the tower.
The baptistery was an important structure for a church as it was necessary for individuals to enter the church without having been baptized.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa
The base of the tower was never level and appears to be built on an incline, but the land shifted with the weight of the marble. The tower was built on clay that was softened by the sea.
It really is very tilted. However, I was assured that it is anchored and reinforced. There were people in line to enter, but I am not sure that is something that I trust!
