The Leaning Tower of Pisa!
 
Standing 117 feet tall, the Leaning Tower of Pisa has been sinking since 1174, when building began. Even though it was evident at that time that it was leaning, building was continued and finished in 1372. It's height is 186 ft, with eight floors and 294 steps. It's leaning is 14.9 ft. It was from the towers summit that Galilei performed his famous trial about gravitation.
