Torre del Campano, Bell tower in Piazza dei Miracoli, Pisa, Italy
The Torre del Campano features seven bells, each corresponding to different musical notes, within its 58-meter high marble structure with a 15-meter diameter.
Construction of the tower started in 1174 under architects Guglielmo and Bonanno, but foundation issues caused an inclination that persisted through centuries.
The bells of Torre del Campano marked both religious ceremonies and daily life rhythms for the inhabitants of Pisa since medieval times.
Visitors can climb 273 steps to reach the top of the tower, where they can observe 29,424 hewn stones used in its construction.
The structure contains twin spiral staircases leading to the bell chamber, with one staircase including extra steps to compensate for the tower's lean.
