What structure notorious for its 3.97 degree tilt is the freestanding bell tower of a cathedral in its namesake Italian town? The structure's tilt comes from the soft ground of its unstable foundation.

The structure notorious for its 3.97-degree tilt is the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It is the freestanding bell tower of the Cathedral of Pisa, located in the Italian town of Pisa. The tower's tilt is a result of the soft ground and unstable foundation on which it was built.
