About the Tower

divider

One of the wonders of the world.  Get your thrilling experience to climb the tower that leans at about 3.99 degrees, mounting the steps which rise in the form of a spiral on the inner side of the tower walls. An unforgettable experience that will be preserved in your mind forever.  The height of the tower is 55.86 m (183.27 ft) from the ground on the low side and 56.70 m (186.02 ft) on the high side. It began to sink after construction, this was due to a mere three-meter foundation, set in weak, unstable subsoil that caused this unique phenomenon, contributing to create one of the wonders of the world.
