Introduction

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a freestanding campanile on the Piazza dei Miracoli; work began in 1173, but as the soft alluvial ground settled the tower started to tilt, and today its top leans roughly 4 metres from the vertical — the world's most famous 'beautiful mistake'. Eight tiers of white marble colonnades wrap the shaft, elegant yet askew. Climb it for views over the whole square, and stand where legend says Galileo demonstrated his falling-body experiment.

From the Opera della Primaziale Pisana site opapisa.it (checked 5 November 2026): every monument opens daily with the last entry 30 minutes before closing, and Tower tickets are timed and limited in number, so the hour is fixed at purchase. The day-by-day timetable for November 2026 lists the Tower window as 09:00-18:00. From 17 June to 31 August the Tower runs at night until 22:00, and a Tower ticket from 19:30 in that period carries a free pass to the Camposanto. The site notes that times can change for security, ceremonies or events.
