Know before you go: The Tower of Pisa began to lean during construction in the 12th century due to soft ground that could not properly support the structure's weight, and the tilt worsened until construction was completed in the 14th century. The structure was stabilized by remedial work between 1993 and 2001, which reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees. Climbing to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a unique experience and offers a very beautiful view of the town.; Florence is known as the cradle of the Renaissance and is still wonderfully preserved as a Renaissance city. According to statistics produced by UNESCO, 60% of the world's most important works of art are located in Italy, and approximately half of these are in Florence. Browsing Florence's collection of breathtaking architecture, sculpture, monuments, museums, and other artistic treasures may feel overwhelming.; Inside are many important works of art by artists such as Michelangelo, Donatello, and Brunelleschi. The Basilica of San Lorenzo is the oldest church in the city. The church is flanked by the New Sacristy, designed by Michelangelo, and houses the Medici family tombs. Some of Florence's most important museums are the Galleria dell'Accademia, which houses famous sculptures by Michelangelo and Donatello, and the Uffizi Gallery, one of the greatest museums in the world, with works by Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Rubens, Rembrandt, and Goya, to name a few.
