Italy Piazza del Duomo in Pisa

“The Baptistry was the first building that we saw when entering a complex of a walled 8.87-hectare area, I had thought the square would be surrounded by buildings, as the cathedral was in Florence. I was quite surprised with how much grass there was, and how spacious it all felt. There were lots of tourists, but because of the space, it was a totally different feeling to that the Cinque Terre villages.”

“As we turned the corner of the Cathedral, we saw the tower. I was amazed, I didn’t realise have far it was leaning, you see photos, but actually seeing it, is totally different and it’s beautiful.”

“I didn’t have any expectations when it came to the tower. I didn’t know that it is situated as part of a larger Piazza, or that the tower was built as a bell tower for Pisa cathedral, which along with the tower and baptistry form a UNESCO world heritage site. The whole area is a wide beautiful space with gorgeous architecture and pristine grass areas. The piazza is contained in gorgeous walls on three sides.”
