Real Estate Interesting Fact - Iconic Buildings Around the World You Need to See Before You Die: Leaning Tower of Pisa — Pisa, Italy It is called the Leaning Tower or the Tower of Pisa but actually it was never used for defending the city; it is part of the religious complex in the Duomo Square and acts as its bell tower. It played an active role in both human and divine timekeeping with its seven bells – one for each musical note – the largest of which, cast in 1655, weighs a full three and a half tonnes! It is known throughout the world for the beauty of its architecture, for its extraordinary tilt, which makes it an authentic miracle of statics, and for the fact that it stands in the universally renowned Piazza dei Miracoli, of which it is certainly the prize jewel. And this is why it is one of the 7 Wonders of the World. https://lnkd.in/eGG-38Bt

🧐 Rome, a city brimming with history, is a tapestry woven with layers of civilizations. Yet, beneath its ancient charm, there lies a more recent, and controversial, chapter: the creation of Via della Conciliazione. This grand boulevard, stretching from St. Peter's Square to Castel Sant'Angelo, was born from the demolition of Borgo Pio, a medieval neighbourhood teeming with life and history. It was a decision made in the name of progress, of opening up a direct and monumental path to the Vatican. But at what cost? 🏗 The demolition of Borgo Pio was a radical act that forever altered the city's urban fabric. Countless historical buildings, churches, and homes characterized by a fascinating blend of architectural styles, primarily reflecting the Renaissance and Baroque periods, were razed to the ground, displacing thousands of residents and severing deep-rooted communities. Furthermore, the effect Bernini desired while making the St. Peter’s Colonnade has been altered forever: in the past, people walking through the alleys of Borgo Pio would have arrived directly in front of the Square, being amazed by the glorious Dome opening in front of their eyes just after a corner. While the resulting vista of Via della Conciliazione is undeniably impressive, it's a beauty built upon sacrifice. What are your thoughts? Should we celebrate modernization, or mourn the past?
