Since Pisa was on the way in our trip down the west coast of Italy we thought we would pop in and check out the Leaning Tower from which Galileo conducted his famous gravity experiments! It is a beautifully crooked tower situated next to an amazingly huge cathedral and baptistry. The tower isn’t as crooked as it once was. A few years back they corrected it and brought it back about 45cm and in May 2008 they removed tonnes of earth and announced it stable for another 200 years.
The rest of Pisa isn’t too exciting, a bit dirty and run down.
