About it
The Leaning Tower of Pisa, in Italy, is the bell tower of the city's cathedral. Building began in 1173, and the tower started to lean while it was still being built, because the ground under it is soft; it took about 200 years to finish. Engineers straightened it a little from 1990 to 2001, and it now leans about 4 degrees.
The story goes that Galileo dropped two balls of different weights from the top to show that they fall together. Tap it and try it: a big iron ball and a small bronze one roll off the top and land at the same moment. Set the lean with the Lean slider in the Splash tab.
