The Leaning Tower of Zaragoza, also known as the Torre Nueva, is a distinctive landmark in the city's old quarter. Built in the early 16th century as a bell tower for the nearby church of San Felipe, it began to lean shortly after construction due to unstable foundations. Today, it stands as a curious reminder of architectural quirks, much like its more famous counterpart in Pisa. Visitors can view the tower from the surrounding plaza, where its tilt is clearly visible against the skyline. The tower is not open to the public, but its exterior is a popular photo stop. The area around it is filled with narrow streets and tapas bars, making it a pleasant spot to explore.
