Introduction

      

            The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located in the Tuscany area of Italy and is one of the most visited monument of the country by people all over the world. In many of the sites it is sometimes considered as one of the world's wonder. Many are fascinated by the fact that it leans so much but has yet to fall over completely. It leans due to the fact that it was built on an area that was soft and it couldn't support the weight of the structure.
