    What's up everyone, I hope you're all having a great day, I'm back with another amazing build to show you guys. Now I'm sure you've all seen this before, but I am here to show some real nice architecture. Now I love to build and rebuild famous (and not so famous) unique structures around the world but today we are going to take a look at one of Italy's iconic architectural structures: The Leaning tower of Pisa!

    A little background of this building, it was a bell tower constructed during the 12th century and was not completed until nearly 200 years later. Although the tower was built straight, the lean was a result of the foundation not being able to support itself on the soft ground. Luckily the soil settled, preventing the tower from breaking, keeping the leaning tower you see today. The Leaning tower of Pisa is one of the most well known buildings around the world as well as one of the best examples of Romanesque architecture of the late middle ages.

    Click here for the awesome timelapse

    Now before everyone says that it is not leaning, I do apologize for that as it would have been possible, but the build would have looked very distorted which takes away the true beauty of the architecture and design of this builds. Also the car in the first image, I cannot fully explain, but that was a render done by a fellow friend of mine (he's a very weird dude).

    I hope you guys enjoy the timelapse video I made of this and be sure to check out my other videos for more architectural greatness. If you want, you can check out this build for yourself in in the world download link in the description of the video, cheers!

    Don't be afraid to ask any further questions about this build whether it's about the tower itself or the build in minecraft and if you really like this build, check out my portfolio as well.

    Nice build, but maybe should add some mini structures around?

    I'm pretty sure Italy's most iconic building is the amphitheatrum flavium, but anyway neat build.

    You built it wrong. It's supposed to be leaning.

    Looks brilliant. Honestly I think it looks better since its not leaning, since blocks can't really slope.

    If only there was command block access, there's a pretty nice trick you could use to make it lean. Oh well :stuck_out_tongue:

    You can try to use //deform rotate(z,y,pi/3) and then use //deform rotate(z,x,pi/3). This can make your tower leaning after a few edits by hand. Make sure you make a huge region selection, and make a copy of the build, as it may get messed up in the process.
