Leaning Tower of Pisa. Officially known as the Torre Pendente di Pisa, the Leaning Tower gets its popular name from the fact that it is about sixteen feet (5.5 degrees) from the vertical. Although it looks as if it could fall at any moment, it has stood (albeit rather crookedly) for over 600 years.
