The seventh floor was completed in 1319. [19] The bell-chamber was finally added in 1372. It was built by Tommaso di Andrea Pisano, who succeeded in harmonizing the Gothic elements of the belfry with the Romanesque style of the tower. [20] [21] There are seven bells, one for each note of the musical major scale. The largest one was installed in 1655.

The heart of the city’s political power throughout the centuries, the building is still used as Florence’s town hall and administrative centre today. G. Barsali (1999), Pisa. History and masterpieces, Bonechi, p.18, ISBN 8872041880, archived from the original on 9 August 2021 , retrieved 25 August 2015 After the Great Fire, houses in the city were restricted to heights of 3 or 4 storeys so the Monument would have towered above them. Nowadays, at 160 feet high, the viewing platform doesn’t make quite the same statement. It is eye to eye with St Pauls and Tower Bridge but the river view is obstructed in places by buildings which wouldn’t have been there in the 1700s. The nearby Walkie Talkie looms a bit too. Best not to think what Sir Christopher would have made of that. The viewing platform of The Monument. That’s the Walkie Talkie, soaring skyward over Ed’s shoulder. The tower began to lean during construction in the 12th century, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's weight. It worsened through the completion of construction in the 14th century. By 1990, the tilt had reached 5.5 degrees. [3] [4] [5] The structure was stabilized by remedial work between 1993 and 2001, which reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees. [6] ArchitectThis was the only point on my whole visit to the Palazzo Vecchio that I encountered a little queue. There were a few people ahead of me waiting for their turn to get a photo of the view. It was pretty relaxed though with only one member of staff keeping an eye on things. The tower has survived at least four strong earthquakes since 1280. A 2018 engineering investigation concluded that the tower withstood the tremors because of dynamic soil-structure interaction: the height and stiffness of the tower combined with the softness of the foundation soil influences the tower's vibrational characteristics in such a way that it does not resonate with earthquake ground motion. The same soft soil that caused the leaning and brought the tower to the verge of collapse helped it survive.

The Palazzo Vecchio is worth visiting for several reasons other than the fabulous view you get from the top of the tower.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa ( Italian: torre pendente di Pisa), or simply, the Tower of Pisa ( torre di Pisa [ˈtorre di ˈpiːza; ˈpiːsa] [1]), is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of Pisa Cathedral. It is known for its nearly four-degree lean, the result of an unstable foundation. The tower is one of three structures in the Pisa's Cathedral Square ( Piazza del Duomo), which includes the cathedral and Pisa Baptistry.

The White Tower is a keep (also known as a donjon), which was often the strongest structure in a medieval castle, and contained lodgings suitable for the lord – in this case, the king or his representative. [10] According to military historian Allen Brown, "The great tower [White Tower] was also, by virtue of its strength, majesty and lordly accommodation, the donjon par excellence". [11] As one of the largest keeps in the Christian world, [12] the White Tower has been described as "the most complete eleventh-century palace in Europe". [13] The original entrance to the White Tower was at first-floor level Which is your favourite view of London? What have I missed out? Join in the conversation in the Comments below.
