The Leaning Tower of Pisa is found in Italy. It was originally constructed as a bell tower to accompany Pisa’s cathedral. It was built in 1173 on the 13th of August. The Leaning Tower began to tilt in 1178, in the 12th century, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's weight.Its weight is estimated at 14,500 tonnes. Today, it has been stabilised, and you can climb the 294-step staircase for a panoramic view of lovely Tuscan Pisa. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is made from marbles, lime and stones. It's built in a circular ditch about five feet deep, on ground consisting of clay, fine sand, and shells.

Most travellers visit the Leaning Tower between June and September, taking advantage of the sunny Tuscan summer.

is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, just east of the Roman Forum. It is the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, and is still the largest standing amphitheatre in the world. The Colosseum was built by tens of thousands of Jewish slaves that were brought to Rome by Emperor Vespasian. It took almost 10 years to build the Colosseum and was completed in AD 80.The original name of the Colosseum was the Flavian Amphitheater, named after the Flavian Dynasty of emperors who built it.The Colosseum stopped being used because violent games were banned, it continued to be used for non-blood sports like wrestling but it was repeatedly damaged by earthquakes and left to fall into ruin as the Roman Empire collapsed.
Although the Colosseum was used for many violent events, it has become a symbol of Christianity.
