Was the leaning tower of piza always leaning?

No, the Leaning Tower of Pisa was not always leaning. Construction began in 1173, and the tower began to lean during its construction due to unstable foundation soil. The tilt became noticeable after the first few stories were completed, and the construction was halted for nearly a century to allow the ground to settle. Efforts to stabilize and correct the lean were made in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
