Overview

Site history & evidence

What is documented here

Each kind of evidence on its own row, because they do not add up.

Evidence On record What it shows
Site date Dated from 1173 CE On the timeline A date for the site as recorded — not the start of worship, and not a floor on the tradition here.
Location Recorded to the site On the atlas A coordinate for the place. It locates the site; it does not draw its extent.
Dated activity None recorded A pin is a place, not an event. What happened at Leaning Tower of Pisa, and when, is a separate claim, and this import holds none: it carries site locations, not dated activity.

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.

What this means

Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

History

Recorded events

What Leaning Tower of Pisa’s own record names in its history, in the order of the dates on the statements.

What this means

Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began. Each date is the one on the statement itself; an event with none is named after the line. It does not imply that these are all the events in its history, or that Wikidata ranks the events by importance.
