Will the Leaning Tower of Pisa ever fall over?
G’day pRiNcE fan , Thank you for your question. The Italian Government has worried about that. It appealed in 1964 for international help to stabilise the tower. It was closed between 1990 and 2001 to stabilise it. Part of the foundations were dug out, lead weights were placed on the north side and steel anchors now cable the tower. The engineers reckon it will last at least another 200 years. I have attached sources for your reference.
