- From Old World Christmas
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the freestanding bell tower of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. Constructed in stages beginning in 1174, it started to lean when the third of its eight stories was built. It still stands today and is one of the most famous structures in Italy. With its characteristic lean, this glass Leaning Tower of Pisa ornament has each level of the tower painted in glittery silver and a banner that is a great tribute to Italy, with the Italian flag on one side and "Pisa" on the other. A great gift for a world traveler or fan of Italy!
