The widow Berta of Bernardo leaves 60 coins in her will to the Opera Campanilis Petrarum Sancte Marie to buy stones to build a tower. 1173. On August 9, workers lay the foundation stones for what will become the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Constructed of marble, lime, and stones, the tower is built in a circular ditch about five feet deep, on ground consisting of clay, fine sand, and shells. 1178. When the tower is just over three stories tall, construction stops for unknown reasons.
