You keep moving, and you leave the door behind your back. Oh boy, 13 feet is a little tall for a door - you think while you step in. You go past the security check and you step down the stairs to reach the base of the monument.Īs you walk to the entrance door, you notice it must be something like. Before you know, it is your turn to step down from the access stairs and to enter the Tower. Time goes fast while you are lost in your thoughts. and each of those column heads is different. That makes 192 columns, each one with its sculpted head. 12 columns on your side, 12 must be on the other side.
there are 8 floors, and from the side where you stand, you can see. even though it's so massive, not only does it leans dangerously to one side, it also looks so gracious and "light". You don't recall any other building with so many columns. There is literally nothing inside the Tower!
They really went a great length to make it look fantastic. While you stand in the queue at the entrance, you look around and you notice the color patterns in the marble at the base of the Tower.Ĭouldn't they have made it on plain and simple white marble? - you ask yourself. This difference is one of the components that make the visit to the Tower a memorable experience. The difference between the inside of the Leaning Tower and its exterior is striking. There are literally thousands of little details and features sculpted in the white marble! You look at it from the bottom up and you cannot really grasp how much work it must have been necessary to put all that together. The entire monument is made out of solid rock. Standing on the square underneath the Leaning Tower, you cannot help appreciating its majesty.
