Hi,

yes, as announced, here it is.
For stats, I was thinking happy faces and culture. Maybe some commerce. The tower was originally built as bell-tower for the Pisa cathedral. Construction started 1173, so maybe, under Conquests, you could also make this a tourist attraction.
Other suggestions welcome.
Ciao.
AK.

Love it !! :goodjob:

I think I'll make it available with Theology, create two happy faces in the city it's built in and check the "increases luxury trade" and "tourist attraction" flags. I'll give it 3 culture and a build cost of 200.

Thanks again. :)

Another idea is to double city's research: the Tower was used by Galileo for his Gravity's studies.
 
:hmm: But when it was built, wasn't it just The Tower of Pisa?;)

It's really nice, btw. Lovin' it!:goodjob:

In the first time, the tower was not leaning: the ground was too friable, so the tower leaning. If you see, the top (constructed when the lean become), it's straight with the ground and crooked with the tower.

And it's yet the tower bell of Pisan Dome.
