He conducted a major experiment of the law of free fall and dropped two cannonballs of different masses from the tower to show that the speed of descent was independent of their mass.
The eminent scientist, Galileo Galilei lived in Pisa from 1589 to 1592. The area surrounding the Tower - Pisa Cathedral, Pisa Baptistry, and Piazza del Duomo, are made of limestone and coated with white marble, and are just as stunning as the tower. This wonder has earned it the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site and made it to the top of globetrotter’s bucket list. Despite its tilt, the freestanding tower has been holding strong for almost 900 years.
It was formed during its construction by dint of uneven settling of the building's foundations on the soft soil. One of the most iconic landmarks of Italy, Torre Pendente, also famously identified as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, is known for its 3.9-degree tilt.
