The Alhambra’s Moorish palaces were residential buildings built for the last Muslim Emirs in Spain and its court during Nasrid dynasty. After the reconquest by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492, some portions were used by the Christian rulers. But nowadays Alhambra is considered to be one of the main tourist destinations in Spain.

As the Alhambra did not have a principal idea for the total site design, so its general plan is not orthogonal or organized. . The total length of the Alhambra is 740 meter and it has one of the largest widths. The best and the strongest location is the citadel. Other than the west side of the place, all the other sides of the wall is weak. In total, it has 13 towers.

It took 177 years to construct the building. The tower was made to stand straight, however immediately after it was constructed, it started leaning towards the south east due to a weekly laid foundation.

The real architecture the first stage of Leaning Tower of Pisa is mysterious. But two architects are considered to be the main architects of the Tower of Pisa; Bonanno Pisano and Gherardo din Gherardo.

The tower is mainly famous because it leans but it is an outstanding example of Romanesque architecture and would probably be famous even if it didn’t lean. A popular tourist activity is to pose for photographs pretending to “hold up” the leaning tower and preventing it from falling.
