As soon as the first floor of the building was finished, the tower started to lean. Builders tried to make the buildings s 4 again as they added more floors, but the leaning tower got w 5 as the tower grew.

It took about 180 years to finish the tower. Today, the Leaning Tower has eight f 6 . It is 54.5 meters tall, and it leans almost 4 meters to one side. The tower is also sinking into (陷入) the g 7 on which it was built. Every year, the tower leans another 1.5 cm.
