Why the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans?

Why the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans? Picture this: It's the late 12th century, and the architects in Pisa, were all set to build a magnificent bell tower. Back in those days, the tower was constructed on soft, unstable ground, and the builders didn't quite grasp the full extent of the problem. They started erecting this magnificent tower in 1174. As the tower reached its third floor, guess what happened? Yup, you got it — the foundation started to sink on one side.

People are trying to find a way to save leaning marvel. They tried many methods to correct its inclination, but each time the tower leaned even more!

Fast forward to the 21st century and engineers finally found the secret sauce to stabilize the tower. They started a massive restoration project to counter the gravitational forces pulling the tower down. After years of hard work, they managed to reduce the lean and ensure the tower's long-term stability.

Now you know the answer to the question...
