It's not an Illusion

The Bell Tower in Pisa really does lean.  Construction first started in 1172, and it began to sink in 1178.  Construction was completed in 1372 with the final addition of the bell chamber atop the seventh story.  Here we are some 650 years later and the tower still leans.  It's also still standing.  Amazing.
