| Leaning Tower Pisa Italy 2019 |
From the coach park, we took a small touristy train ride to the Pisa market area.
On entering the old village of Pisa, the scene is quite impressive. Pisa is in the Tuscany region of Italy. The learning tower was already leaning when it was built in 1372. It's a 56 metre white-marble bell tower next to the Cathedral. The area where the buildings are located is called Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles).

The famous tower doesn't look so tall in the context of other buildings, but a closer look at the people as in the top photo helps with perspective.
A few more photos.
It is currently popular to take a selfie. Some were considerably creative in pinching the tower or holding it in your hand. Me- not so creative.
Travel notes
Outside the field of old buildings, there are restaurants and stalls selling all sorts of souvenirs and refreshments.
You can find toilets in some restaurants, which is what we did--keep your receipt--we had to show it to the man controlling access.
You can climb the tower if you obtain a ticket.
