Ever wondered how this famous tower has never fallen over? It always looks like its about to fall, so what held it up over the years?
What an elegant building. Italians are amazing people.
Roman blood running through their veins
Pisean people of the 13th century
@@angelabender8132 who are Italians
@@angelabender8132people from pisa are also Italians, i am from a town about a thirty minute drive away and I consider myself Italian
@@arolemaprarath6615wait you don't know Italians I am an Italian 😭
Ironically, it would probably be completely unknown without this unique flaw. Ever heard of the straight tower of Urbino? Or the orthogonal tower of Palermo?
Not unknown but probably not as famous
I agree but its also a far more impressive tower than those you mentioned, the age of it is awesome as well
It would still be remembered as one of the most awesome late Romanesque buildings on earth along with the basilica right next to it. But yeah, wouldn't have this level of pop-culture fame that it has.
I wrote this is science last week

Leaning Tower of Pisa
Introduction
I chose this tower for the history and why it leans. I think it's interesting to know how and why it stands the way it does and why it's right there
History
The tower began to be built in 1173 as a normal tower and took 199 years to build. The tower was completed in 1372, when the bell room with space for seven bells had been completed.
The tower began to tilt slowly even before the construction was completed. The highest piece of the tower was therefore made at a different angle to try to mitigate the problem. You have never dared to ring the heaviest bells, you have never dared to ring, because the vibrations are considered dangerous. The tower is tilted by 5 degrees from the center due to the fact that the ground has a lot of water and clay in it. Before the restoration work in 1990-2001, the tower was tilted by 5.5 degrees. It has been tilting for about 800 years.
Appearance
It is mostly recognized because of the slope but it also has other features that make it what it is. It has "arches" that go around it in different ways. At the top, there is a clock room where there are several clocks. It has an "Off-White" color with a red flag at the top. Technology and materials
The building style of the tower is Romanesque and it is built of limestone, lime mortar and marble façade. The tower has a "list" (I don't know what that means (: ) of about 5 meters. During World War II, thousands of bombs were dropped on the city of Pisa, Bomb shrapnel hit the turret, but it did not affect stability. You could say that even though it's leaning, it's still quite stable. The tower has also withstood 4 fairly large earthquakes but the tower still stands today. There are rescue techniques/suggestions that could be used to stabilize the tower such as: millions of tons of cement are pumped down under the building so that the foundation becomes stable again. Another suggestion is that the tower get a "steel corset". It is built around the tower as a large stand to hold up the tower. There are more suggestions but I don't have the energy to write them. They have already done some stabilization work before and today the tower stands 4 cm straighter and is in better condition than they thought it would be at this point.
If it had never leaned it wouldve just been the tower of pisa 😂
It s more complex, it the 90s there were steel cables and in the meanwhile concrete injections, for a slight recovery and stabilisation etc
you're right there were concrete injections put in place to help. I can only fit in so much info in under 60 seconds tho G. Thanks for the info tho!
the tank next to the tower was a fire photo!!
I like the leaning tower of pizza, I’d like to visit it some time.
Hello from Pisa 🇮🇹
hello and thanks for watching Finiarel!
@@keldonlemonand just from the opposite direction of the tower the stadium of pisa locates there
Hello Finiarel3 from the beautiful foothills of Yosemite N.P. California
🇮🇹The name "Pisa" comes from the Greek word "marshy land", one could guess that the architects of the cathedral who were about to build a very high bell tower would have taken into account the soil. By building the tower's foundations shallow and relatively heavy, they doomed it to bend from the start. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was actually a vertical building in the original design, but it deviated from its correct position at the start of construction.
Why doesn't the Leaning Tower of Pisa fall? The reason is due to the particularity of the ground under its foundation where there are many layers of soil of different materials, composed of soil sediments and very soft clay, at a depth of about one meter there is the layer of underground water.
I thought Pisa was slang for pizza since it's Italian
@@midgaming6291 pizza was invented hundreds of years after this. And why would italy name their monument after a sterotype?
@@Puggylord316 pizza tower
That's basically what the video explains..
A pizza's not a stereotype its just food lol@@Puggylord316
200 -300 years, if there will be no WW3
hey good point
Have you ever wondered have a leaning town of piza looks like?
A short time before my dad died he took a trip to italy and I have a great pic of him standing beside the tower,some day I will go and take a pic of myself standing close to the same place that dad once stood.,..
It also took 200 years to complete Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.
they have to dig tunnel from down beneath and then push up the foundation to level up the whole construction. We need a very powerful hydraulic jack for that work
Tartarian architecture
Unfortunately the back ground noise is louder than the narrator's voice 🤦🤦
Super🎉
soil liquefaction
No, today we keep the Tower at 4 degrees.
Its fixed there and it can't move.
Moreover, we have calculated that this system will hold for the next 300 years.
1173 the battle during the Tartarian era
Pisa I was there in the 80's when they let you go up the tower! Italia!!😂😂😂
I wonder if things would get better if someone finally straightened it out.
something i think about daily
That and the roman empire lol.
I'm pretty sure the people involved in making that kind of decision have said they wouldn't want to straighten it because it makes it iconic, plus it could cause more damage. I think that's what I remember but maybe wrong.@@keldonlemon
Dude. Reduce the music. I can't hear anything.
WHAT??? HUH????
either talk or play music one thing at a time
Reality mahakalesvar Kashi karvat 9'
It almost fell in 1990
THIS SHIT TOOK 200+ YEARS TO MAKE?
Hang big heavy weights on 1 side
Lit
You literally copied another video word for word
lol a monument to moron construction
