Stop 1
Greetings from one of the most recognisable sites in the world, the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Soft ground beneath its foundation is the reason for the tower's distinctive tilt, which was created over a period of 199 years, beginning in the 12th century. It is a worldwide architectural wonder due to its distinctive lean, standing close to 57 meters tall. Its 294 stairs can now be climbed for sweeping views of Pisa and beyond. This tower, which is a part of the Piazza dei Miracoli, blends in nicely with the surrounding magnificent architectural gems. The Leaning Tower is a must-see because it lets you experience the history and inventiveness of mediaeval building.

We then reach the Baptistery of St. John, another treasure of the Piazza dei Miracoli and the biggest baptistery in Italy. This imposing building, which was finished in 1363, combines Gothic and Romanesque architectural elements. The true magic takes place inside, yet its circular shape and elaborate marble facade are incredibly alluring. The Baptistery's famed acoustics produce an echo that almost creates a spiritual feeling. With a magnificent pulpit by Nicola Pisano and a central baptismal font, the interior is understated yet breathtaking. This is a must-see for those who enjoy architecture and is a symbol of rebirth in both religion and artistry.
