There’s a lot more to the Piazza Dei Miracoli than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Here’s everything you need to do at the majestic landmark.

Leaning Tower of Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa, also known as the Tower of Pisa, is a freestanding bell tower for the cathedral in Pisa, Italy. It is one of Italy's most renowned tourist attractions and is considered one of the most impressive architectural buildings from medieval Europe. It is one of four structures that make up Pisa's Campo Dei Miracoli cathedral complex, which also includes a baptistery, a cemetery, and the cathedral itself.

Pisa Cathedral

The Cathedral of Pisa is one of Tuscany's most stunning churches. This masterpiece of Pisan Romanesque architecture is best known for its bell tower, the Tower of Pisa. Visit the cathedral to witness the marble, which is so delicately carved that it resembles needlework. The use of black and white marble is an Islamic element, while the blind arches are a Lombard design.

Baptistry of San Giovanni

The Baptistery is one of Florence's most notable religious structures, dedicated to John the Baptist, Florence's patron saint, whose feast day is June 24. The Baptistery, which was built on the foundations of a Roman structure, is a typical example of the Tuscan Romanesque style, dating from around the 11th century. Its form is octagonal while the exterior is covered in white marble and green Prato marble.

Camposanto Monumentale

The Camposanto Monumentale, or "ancient cemetery," is also known as the Camposanto Vecchio. It is a significant historical structure located on the northern side of Pisa's Piazza Dei Miracoli. Due to the historical tale that the monument was built on soil brought from Golgotha, the Campo Santo is also known as the "holy field".
The Italian countryside is simply magical, with lush, rolling hills, serene weather, and rich biodiversity. Here are your other options for day trips from Florence
