I’ve only seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa in books and, of course, on Google. This place is truly beautiful as a tourist attraction. I hope that someday, I’ll have the chance to visit such an amazing work of art. I also taught this to my online students, and from there, I learned that the tower leans because it was built on soft, unstable soil that couldn't support its weight. Over time, the ground shifted, causing it to tilt. Engineers have stabilized it to prevent further leaning, making it a unique and famous landmark.

Haha, you know, when I was a kid, I always thought that it started falling, then stopped, and I thought that it wasn't a big deal. Only later I read that falling was caused by soft soil, and many people tried many times to stop it from falling. Btw, I heard that they're predicting that it will only stand still for 300 years, so we got lucky that we visited it at "not falling time". 😂
Anyways, that falling thing brought it so much popularity and coolness!
