Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.The Tower of Pisa is the most famous bell tower in the world, and its appeal is enhanced by the mystery surrounding it: why did the architects build a leaning tower, and how is it still standing?
This is not the only enigma of Pisa, however. Founded by the Etruscans in 500 BC, we do not know what the city’s name means, or what it derives from.
Pisa reached the peak of its splendor between 1000 and 1200, when it became one of the four maritime republics and possessed one of the most powerful fleets in the world. Pisa is some distance from the sea, however, and its port has never been found, not even along the River Arno that runs through the city.
