Leaning Tower of Pisa Slowly Reducing Its Lean; Not as Tilted as It Once Was Due to Action on It

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is not as tilted as it once was after it straightened slightly as a result of engineering work to protect the tourist attraction, This Is News website reports today (November 23, 2018).

Experts of the tower's Surveillance Group, which monitors restoration progress, said the monument was "stable and very slowly reducing its lean" following 17 years of observation.

The 186-foot construction straightened by 1.5 inches, according to engineering professor Nunziante Squeglia of Pisa University.

The Italian landmark has stood slightly to one side ever since building started in 1173.
