Porta Nuova and the Leaning Tower
The medieval gate of Porta Nuova (New Gate) frames a distant view of the Leaning Tower and the cathedral complex. The tower (14th c.) shows a marked tilt from uneven settlement in its soft subsoil. Its long survival through stabilization campaigns shows how modern engineering secures a monument valued for its distinctive deformation.
