I accepted Mrs Palmer's challenge and this is what I found out...
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located in the Italian city of Pisa in Tuscany, Italy. It is a free standing bell tower. It is known worldwide for it's tilt or lean. It's tilt began during construction, caused by inadequate foundations on ground that was too soft to support the structure. It has been stabilised in both the 20th and 21st centuries.
It's height on is 55.86m on the lower side and 56.67m on it's high side. The tower has 296 steps leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees.
