Tilted church in Greece

Video. Tourists test balance inside tilted church in Greece’s Ropoto

Updated:

Visitors flock to a tilted church in Greece’s Ropoto village, drawn by its unusual angle and unique experience.

Tourists are visiting the Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary in the Greek village of Ropoto, where a landslide in April 2012 left the building tilted at a 17-degree angle.

The structure, carried downhill over several days as the ground shifted, now leans more steeply than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Visitors enter the church to test their balance, walking and attempting to stand upright inside the slanted interior.

The site has become a local attraction, with people travelling to experience the unusual sensation and observe the building’s condition.

Despite the damage caused by the landslide, the church remains standing without visible structural cracks.
