The Square of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli) is of most interest in the town housing the baptistery, the Cathedral and the leaning tower.

THE BAPTISTERY
It is the biggest of its kind in Italy, architect Diotisalvi started it, but it was Pisano to whom the credit must go for its present state, especially the Dome, a real achievement for the Middle Ages. The inside contains many superb works of art.

THE CATHEDRAL
Note particularly the superb façade and the pulpit by Pisano.

THE TOWER
There is much conflict about the “lean”. The latest statistics show that the tower was built at that angle originally, but experts fail to agree. The fact remains that this beautiful “Campanile” with its 190 marble and granite columns is a spectacular sight, the lean is becoming more pronounced therefore climbing up it was stopped for a while but now the tower has been reopened.

PARKING
There are several pay car parks in the city, but free spaces are difficult to find.
We suggest that you park at the airport and from there you can either walk through the city or take bus number 3 in front of the building, you must by tickets beforehand from the information desk in the arrivals hall
