The tower began to lean during construction in the 12th century, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's weight.
The tower has 296 or 294 steps the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. Its weight is estimated at 14,500 tonnes (16,000 short tons). The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m (8 ft 0 in). The height of the tower is 55.86 metres (183 feet 3 inches) from the ground on the low side and 56.67 m (185 ft 11 in) on the high side.

Easily one of the most groundbreaking restaurants in the Bay Area, if not California, Cafe Ohlone, housed in the outdoor courtyard of the Hearst Museum of Anthropology at UC Berkeley is an exploration of the Bay Area’s Indigenous culture that simultaneously reckons with the trauma the Ohlone people have dealt with in the face of colonization.
