History and Construction



            The construction of the Tower began on August 9, 1173. Originally designed to be a bell tower, but progress was halted several times due to war, money issues, and leaning issues. The tower actually stood upright for over 5 years. The leaning of the tower began as they were building the third level of the eight level building. It wasn't completed until 1360, and the final completion was stated declared after construction of Bell Chamber in 1372.
