Battistero di San Giovanni Battista

  Battistero di San Giovanni Battista sits directly adjacent to the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, making it a notable part of the Piazza dei Miracoli. Constructed between 1152 and 1363, this striking Romanesque and Gothic building serves as the baptismal site for the city’s Christian community. One of its main features is the impressive 12-meter high dome, which showcases a blend of artistic styles and intricate sculptures. Visitors are welcome to explore its exquisite architecture and the atmospheric interior, particularly striking during the early morning hours when sunlight creates a serene ambiance. Don't miss the chance to listen to the perfect acoustics within, as occasional choral performances are held here.
