Pisa is best known for its incredible sight; leaning tower. But, that is not all, there are some other sights that everybody should visit. The area around the Cathedral and Tower is beautiful and people can easily walk on the grass, which is soft like a carpet.
Tower of Pisa is situated behind the Cathedral is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square after the Cathedral and the Baptistry.
"Construction of the tower occurred in three stages across 177 years. Work on the ground floor of the white marble campanile began on August 8, 1173, during a period of military success and prosperity. This ground floor is a blind arcade articulated by engaged columns with classical Corinthian capitals.
The tower began to sink after construction had progressed to the second floor in 1178. This was due to a mere three-metre foundation, set in weak, unstable subsoil, a design that was flawed from the beginning" (Wikipedia).
