  • An Old World Christmas ornament

The Leaning Tower of Pisa has defied expectations and became one of the most famous landmarks in the world by standing at an angle for more than 800 years. With its fine details and shimmering silver glitter, this 5.25-inch glass ornament celebrates Italy's renowned architectural wonder and adds that unmistakable tilt to the holiday tree.

The tower's construction started in 1174 and was initially intended to serve as a bell tower for Pisa's cathedral.  The soft ground beneath it had started to move by the time builders got to the third story, which made the tower tilt. The tower remains slightly skewed despite multiple attempts to straighten it out; this inadvertent but cherished characteristic has made it a must-see location for tourists.

The tower's recognizable arches are depicted in this ornament, with each layer highlighting its distinct structure with glitter. The word "Pisa" on a red banner is displayed along the upper half of the tower. To resemble the verdant lawns that encircle the actual landmark, the base is painted a gentle shade of green.

This ornament is an intriguing addition to any holiday display, especially if it is used as a reminder of previous trips, as a destination for a bucket list, or just to show appreciation for Italy's rich past. It's a great addition to the tree, a travel-themed ornament collection, or a thoughtful gift for someone who loves Italian culture. It has a gold cap and a loop for easy hanging.

Text on Old World tag: The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the freestanding bell tower of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. Constructed in stages beginning in 1174, it started to lean when the third of its eight stories was built. It still stands today and is one of the most famous structures in Italy.
