Begun in 1173 on sandy silt subsoil, the leaning Tower (Torre Pendente) started to tilt even before the third level was finished in 1274. (But) construction continued and the structure was completed in 1350."
Over time the Tower has leaned increasing distances from the vertical axis;
1350: 1.4 m (4' 7"), 1817: 3.8 m (12' 6"), 1995: 5.4 m (17' 6"). The foundation is now being stabilized.
