10 Wonders of the Midwest
The world's cultural gems might be as close as your own Midwest state. Check out some of the Heartland's finest (and not so fine) replicas of famous art and architecture.
The Leaning Tower of Niles
Legend says Galileo conducted scientific experiments from atop the Tower of Pisa in Italy. The half-size version in sister-city Niles, Illinois, was erected in 1934, most likely to store water for the town's outdoor swimming pools. Summer concerts are now held on the grounds near the tower, which was renovated in the 1990s.
