Tower of Pisa


Recommended Posts

Seems the tower has been saved from collapse! The attached links tell all. Maybe its just me but I cant see much difference. Oh well...

It's still meraviglioso anyway! (wonderful). There was quite a big celebrating as well! Salute everyone!

I'd still be worried about too much compression on the columns on the leaning side and that the columns on the opposing side would be in tension, which they weren't engineered to be.

Makes you wonder why they only allow so few people inside at one time. This is one baby I am not going into. I will be just as happy to snap photos from a distance. Maybe they have people sign a waiver before you enter? Did you see when it was orginally built? It's a relic.
