Fun Fact
Los Angeles’s full name is “El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula.”

History Fact
The Leaning Tower of Pisa was never straight.
Known worldwide for its four degrees lean, this freestanding bell tower was constructed in the 12th century.

After this, the lean only increased as the construction process went on, and it went on to become more iconic than the tower itself!
