The 7 Wonders Of The Medieval World

These historic sites are all part of the magnificent Seven Wonders of the Medieval World.

Since before recorded history, humans have left their legacies on the Earth in the form of architectural structures. These have ranged in scope from mounds and simple markers to spectacular feats of construction. Many have been destroyed by war or natural disasters, but some survive as ruins, reconstructed replicas or meticulously-maintained structures.

1. Leaning Tower of Pisa

The leaning tower of Pisa is a freestanding bell tower near the cathedral in the city of Pisa, Italy. The building began to tilt almost immediately during its construction in the twelfth century, caused by soft ground and poor foundation engineering. Construction continued into the fourteenth century, and the unintentional tilt gradually increased. At its apex, the tower leaned at an angle of five and a half degrees, with the top of the tower displaced more than eighteen feet from the center. The tilt was partially corrected and the building was stabilized by preservation architects in 2001.
