We walked over to the Leaning Tower after going to Church
in the very first LDS chapel built in Italy.
Directions can be very confusing...
but the landmarks were easy to spot.
Not everyone makes it to the Field of Miracles
Gate to the Field of Miracles
The tower was started by the architect Bonanno Pisano in 1173.
He also designed the bronze doors of the Duomo.
The bell tower is 200 feet tall and 15 feet out of vertical.
It was built over a 200 year period by 3 different architects.
After the 4th story was built construction stopped for a century.
The construction halted again for another century
after three more stories were built.
The belfry was completed in 1372.
