Ringing bells at the top of the leaning tower of Pisa

Ringing bells time at the top of the leaning tower of Pisa - http://www.murali.today

The floors are 8, surrounded by a small loggia with round arches, which reflect the facade motive of the Cathedral, and, since the tower is the Steeple, were placed 7 bells in "Belfry" (top floor of the Tower):
Assunta (the biggest and heaviest), Crocifisso, San Ranieri, Dal Pozzo, Pasquereccia, Terza, Vespruccio: these are the names of the bells that still today ring before masses in the Cathedral and at midday through an electronic system. Once each of them was used to sign the liturgical moments of the day. Source: http://www.leaningtower-ofpisa.com/le...


About the " Leaning Tower of Pisa "

The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: Torre pendente di Pisa) or simply the Tower of Pisa (Torre di Pisa [ˈtorre di ˈpiːsa; ˈpiːza]) is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa, known worldwide for its unintended tilt. The tower is situated behind the Pisa Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in the city's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo), after the cathedral and the Pisa Baptistry.

The tower's tilt began during construction in the 12th century, caused by an inadequate foundation on the ground too soft on one side to properly support the structure's weight. The tilt increased in the decades before the structure was completed in the 14th century. It gradually increased until the structure was stabilized (and the tilt partially corrected) by efforts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

The height of the tower is 55.86 metres (183.27 feet) from the ground on the low side and 56.67 metres (185.93 feet) on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m (8 ft 0.06 in). Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons (16,000 short tons).[1] The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. (Source: Wikipedia)
