This cathedral teaching in Pisa's Piazza del Mirador includes the cathedral, baptistery and bell tower.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa, known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages, is actually the bell tower of the church. This tower was built in 1174, and when the tower was built to the fourth floor, it was found to be leaning and the work was forced to stop. It was then stopped for a hundred years due to wars and other reasons, and was not completed until 1370. The tower was of course leaning, but because it was leaning, it became a miracle, and even the city of Pisa became famous with it. Now, the Leaning Tower of Pisa attracts countless tourists every year to come to see the face, the Leaning Tower of Pisa has also become one of the symbols of Italy, it seems that do not personally go to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower, can not say that the real to Italy.
The original design is a vertical building, but in the construction process has deviated from the correct position, the reason why it will be tilted, is due to the special nature of the soil below its foundation; there are also said to build the tower body of each stone brick is a piece of stone carving good, stone brick and stone brick bonding is extremely skillful, effectively preventing the tower tilt caused by the fracture, the Leaning Tower slanting and does not fall of one of the factors.
Of course, the most concerned about the fate of the Leaning Tower is naturally still the Pisa people, although they are also worried about the leaning of the Leaning Tower, but more is proud and proud of their hometown has a comparable to any of the world's famous buildings and feel proud of the Leaning Tower. They are convinced that it will not fall, and abhor proposals that seek to re-correct the leaning tower back to vertical. Several experts around the world have proposed feasible solutions to correct the Leaning Tower, and even a Chinese tower support expert promised that it is possible to straighten the Leaning Tower of Pisa, however, these proposals have been firmly opposed by the people of Pisa, imagine if the Leaning Tower of Pisa is no longer tilted, and what other characteristics? What is the difference between the Leaning Tower of Pisa and any other tower in the world? What is the reason to attract the world's attention and tourists' money bags again? That's why the Pizarians wouldn't be so stupid as to let it stay crooked!
This is probably the "real reason" why the Leaning Tower of Pisa has always been leaning and why it has been leaning for so many years, haha. I saw in the city of Pisa, the Leaning Tower of Pisa also brought a lot of inspiration and business opportunities for the Pisa people, here almost all the handicrafts, tourist souvenirs, and some daily necessities are made into a slant, first of all, wine bottles, soda bottles, perfume bottles are all slanting, drinking cups are also slanting, and even the toy car kittens and puppies are slanting, walk in the sale of these items on the street, you will really doubt whether the Your own eyes refractive error is also slanted, see more feel dizzy.
The reason why the Leaning Tower of Pisa is famous, but also with a person to do a thing related to this in 1590, born in the city of Pisa, the Italian physicist Galileo, was in the Leaning Tower of Pisa on the "free-fall experiment", will be two different weights of the sphere from the same height at the same time thrown down, the results of the two iron ball almost at the same time, thus discovering the "free-fall experiment". At the same time to the ground, and thus discovered the "law of free fall", overturning the previous Aristotle that the speed of the object falling by the weight of the object, the speed of the falling body is proportional to its mass point of view.
Also, there are many people who think that pizza is famous for something else, namely pizza pie, which is a misunderstanding. The origin of pizza pie is not in Pisa, but in Naples, another city in Italy. In Italian, the word for pizza is Pizza
, and the name of the city of Pisa is Pisa
, which is pronounced similarly, but not much related. I personally think that the best pizza in Italy should be Florence, I once spent
3.5
Euros in Florence, a small store on the side of the road to buy a quarter of a piece of freshly baked pizza, the degree of deliciousness is the domestic Pizza Hut and so on can not be compared. Compared to Florence, Verona's is expensive and not very good. (Photo: Baptistery in the Pisa Cathedral Complex)
