Less Leaning Tower of Pisa
意比薩斜塔被'美白矯正'

The Leaning Tower of Pisa has been returned to its former glory after an 8-year restoration project in which it was cleaned and partially straightened, the Daily Telegraph of London reported Monday. Workers used chisels and hi-tech laser technology to scrub grime from the more than 24,000 blocks of stone that make up the 183ft (55.8m) tall tower. The world famous monument has also had its famous tilt partially corrected after engineers managed to straighten it by 18 inches (45.7cm) from the vertical, returning it to its position in 1838.(See photo)
