Why does the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy lean?It leans because of mistake.It has leaned since the day the tower was built.
In 1174,the people of Pisa,Italy wanted ro build a tower.They wanted the tower to be the most beautiful bell towers in all Italy.The city also needed a bell tower because the church did not have one.
As soon as the first floor of the building was finished,the tower started to lean.Builders tried to make the building straight as they added more floors,but the Leaning Tower only got worse as the towergrew.It took almost 180 years to finish the tower.Today,the Leaning Tower has eight floors.It is 54.5 metres tall,and it leans almost 4 metres to one side.The tower is also sinking into the ground on which it was built.Every year,the tower leans another 1.5 centimetres.
Like all old buildings,it is also falling apart.If someone cannot figure out a way to save the tower,it will fall apart in 175 more years.
