Yes, the Leaning Tower’s tilt has progressively increased through various stages due to problems with its initial construction, foundation sinkage, and shifts over 8 centuries, accepting partial corrections. In its first phase, the tower leaned slightly during its two-century construction as extra floors added weight to unstable ground. The 1990s saw maximum tilt reaching 55 inches off vertical. Since then, soil stabilization and lead counterweights have gradually straightened it over 40 inches, almost reversing the direction of lean. However, the tower sank another 2.5 inches and began tilting slightly back by 2021 as water and visitor foot traffic continued compressing the fragile foundation.
