Pisa Tower To Stand For At Least Another 200 Years

Italy's famous leaning tower of Pisa has stopped moving for the first time in its 800-year history, engineers who have worked to stabilize it say.

The man in charge of the team monitoring the 26m euros (£20m; $40m) project says the tower should remain stable for at least another 200 years.

It took the team more than 10 years to stabilize the tower.

The work involved extracting some 70 tones of earth from the northern side to encourage the tower to right itself.

The tower continued to move towards a more upright position when the work finished, the BBC reported.
