According to the data of this building has a height of 55.86 meters from ground level to the tip of his termiring side and 56.70 meters on the highest side of her, her wide bottom 4.09 meters wide and 2.48 m peaks tower nya.Memiliki 294 children stairs and said to pick the weight of buildings 14 500 Tons.
Tilt the tower is due to the strength of the soil structure so that less land disappear when the construction reached the third floor and the foundation of the jib had collapsed as deep as 3 meters. This is what caused the Tower of Pisa's tilt. There have been many ways in mileage by construction experts to keep the slope pisa to remain stable because the tower is on the increase slope of 1 millimeter per year nya.Berbagai tested methods, but not all of them succeed. Lately there is an on finding a church in Germany that has a slope which is said to exceed the Tower of Pisa, the tower is however still makes her famous, and not a tilted her again.

At the time Musolini triumphed once held an attempt to prevent the slope by injecting cement into the foundation of his foundation and achieve very little despite only reduce a little and not make it more straight forever. In 1990 this tower had reached the slope of the worrying and the authorities decided to close the tower of the tourists who visit both tourists around the tower and tourists who want to climb the Tower of Pisa. Then came the idea to provide ballast (balancer) on the North side of the tower in order to balance out the weight of the building are inclined slope, but did not have the support of the local community.

Another way is with adding soil on the sloping foundation of the Tower of Pisa is known by way of "extracting ground" and the way it was relatively successful because it is able to restore a stable position during the year 1838 (the slope of 18 inches or 45 cm).
