The plan included a cathedral, a baptistery, a bell tower (Tower of Pisa) and a cemetery. The construction of the leaning tower of Pisa began in august 1173, but was interrupted several times by wars, debt and while engineers worked on solutions to correct the lean. Probably without these interruptions that allowed the soil to compress under the tower, it would have toppled over. Pisa Tower was eventually completed in the mid-1300s.
