Pisa, the leaning tower

Yes indeed the tower leans. I was one of the last visitors who was still allowed  to climb to the top.  Of course that was back in 1969; it was closed to tourists soon after. As it can be seen, there are no balustrades or other ways for one to hold on. It was a very scary photo session. Today, the tower is deem


ed to dangerous for tourists to climb. But it still leans.
