Intensive reconstruction was done immediately to preserve historic monuments that are part of the cathedral in the city of Pisa. The entire population living around the tower were evacuated to prevent the fall, the bells atop the tower was temporarily moved to reduce the burden of the tower. Steel cables were used to maintain the stability of the tower. Reconstruction focused on the overhaul of the foundation which is becoming a major problem. Finally, after a period of intensive reconstruction, the Tower of Pisa reopened to the public on December 15, 2001. In May 2008, the engineers ensure that the conditions of the Tower of Pisa will be safe (the slope will not increase) at least for 300 years into the future.
History of the Tower of Pisa itself is actually quite unique. The tower was built in four phases and take two centuries. The slope is the main attraction is actually a calculation error, because the foundation is too small and the tower was built on sandy soil. So when the construction reaches the 3rd floor partially collapsed towers and tower tilts. After delayed for 100 years, eventually building the Tower of Pisa was continued by adding 4 more floors built in the direction "toward the perpendicular" to compensate for the slope. So actually the Tower of Pisa is not only skewed, but also curved.
The building is made of a semicircular stone pile. Once this place is a venue for various performing arts, namely music and gladiators. What is unique when we stood in the middle of the stage and singing, our voices will be heard by the entire audience, unassisted loudspeakers. Hence this place is also called the amphitheater. Getting Around Rome, incomplete if not been to Pompeii. Indeed the city has been destroyed. Today in ruins alone. But make no mistake, Pompeii which was near the city of Naples is a city in ancient Rome.
The city was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD So big, ash stockpiled throughout the city to the point that the city is lost for 1,600 years. Currently the city of Pompeii is one of UNESCO's world tour sites. Another historic building is the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Pisa City. Tower is a campanile or bell tower of the cathedral. When first built, the tower is standing straight. But soon after being built, around August 1173, the tower began to tilt. The height of this tower is 55.86 m from ground level and the lowest 56.70 m above the highest ground. Its weight is estimated at 14,500 tons. To reach the peak we have to climb stairs as much as 294 steps.
City Water, this might be an appropriate designation for Venice. The town is located in the northeastern part of Italy is directly reminiscent of a name, Marco Polo. The name of the merchant from Venice who wanders into a number of Asian countries is easy to remember because it is listed in various history books that taught since elementary school. The name Marco Polo can not be separated from Venice. Even the name immortalized as the name of Marco Polo airport in the city.
Venice is better known as a tourist city and industrial city. The legacy of trade made the city fame as one of Venice's famous sights on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. With the nickname The Queen of the Adriatic which is still attached.
You can use the fast trains such as Eurostar and train-like economy class to visit Venice. From various cities in mainland Europe there are some trains which, directly or have to change trains. The train stopped at Santa Lucia Station.
In some places you can find 24-hour cafe, so you need not fear starvation. Want hot coffee to drink tea available in the corners of the station. After that for a city built around the small islands that we use the vaporetto or water bus from the base named Ferovia, not far from the station. From here visitors can surround a number of places in Venice.
