The Leaning Tower of Pisa has a height that varies due to its tilt. It measures approximately 55.86 meters (183 feet 3 inches) from the ground on the low side and about 56.67 meters (186 feet) on the high side
. If measured from the foundation, which is about 2 meters deep in the ground, the total height would be around 58.36 meters (about 191.6 feet)
. Originally, the tower was intended to be about 60 meters tall, but the tilt caused by unstable ground altered its final height
. The tower leans at an angle of about 3.99 degrees after stabilization efforts reduced the tilt from a previous 5.5 degrees
. In summary:
- Height on low side: ~55.86 meters (183 ft 3 in)
- Height on high side: ~56.67 meters (186 ft)
- Height including foundation depth: ~58.36 meters (192 ft)
- Original planned height: ~60 meters (197 ft)
- Current tilt: approximately 4 degrees
This makes the Leaning Tower of Pisa about 56 to 57 meters tall as commonly cited, with some variation depending on measurement points due to its famous lean
