Battistero di San Giovanni - The Pisa Baptistery of St. John (Italian: Battistero di San Giovanni) is a Roman Catholic church in Pisa, Italy. Construction began in 1152 to replace an older baptistery, and it was completed in 1363, making it the second building, in chronological order, in the Piazza dei Miracoli.
The building’s shape, materials, interior column arrangement, and the space between the two domes create an incredible acoustic resonance effect, known as Echo. The sound spreads throughout the space like a continuous wave, rising in pitch to suggest the presence of an angelic choir. Every half hour, the Baptistery staff performs a brief demonstration for tourists, showcasing this remarkable effect. - Duomo di Pisa - Pisa Cathedral is a medieval Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, located in the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, Italy. It is a notable example of Romanesque architecture, particularly the Pisan Romanesque style.
- Leaning Tower of Pisa - Marvel at the world’s most famous bell tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, known globally for its nearly four-degree tilt due to an unstable foundation. The tower stands behind the Pisa Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in the city’s Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo), following the cathedral and the Pisa Baptistry.
- Galleria dell’Accademia - The visit includes the Accademy Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s renowned sculpture, David. In addition to David, the gallery also houses other sculptures and a vast collection of paintings by Florentine artists.

Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore - The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (viewed from outside), with its stunning dome designed by Brunelleschi, is the main church of Florence. Construction began in 1296 in the Gothic style, based on a design by Arnolfo di Cambio, and was structurally completed in 1436 with the dome by Filippo Brunelleschi.
The exterior of the basilica features polychrome marble panels in shades of green and pink, bordered by white, and an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris. - Giotto’s Bell Tower - Next to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is the Bell Tower designed by Giotto (viewed from outside). Giotto’s Bell Tower is a magnificent example of Italian Gothic architecture. The tower has a square base of approximately 15 meters per side, with corner reinforcements that rise to the horizontal cantilevered crown at a height of 84.7 meters.
-
Piazza della Signoria - Piazza della Signoria has been the heart of Florence’s political life since the 14th century. The square has witnessed significant historical events and triumphs, such as the return of the Medici in 1530.
The famous sculptures in Piazza della Signoria reflect Florence’s political history. Michelangelo’s David (the original is in the Accademia Gallery) was placed in front of Palazzo Vecchio to symbolize the power of the Florentine Republic against Medici tyranny. Hercules and Cacus (1534) by Bandinelli represents the physical strength of the Medici family. -
Ponte Vecchio - Built near an ancient Roman crossing, the Ponte Vecchio was the only bridge crossing the Arno in Florence until 1218.
Above Ponte Vecchio, you can see part of the beautiful Vasari Corridor. This corridor, built in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari, runs above the goldsmith shops on either side of the bridge. Commissioned by the Medici, it allowed them to move from Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti safely, without crossing Florence’s streets. When the corridor was built, butchers’ shops occupied the Ponte Vecchio, but their activities likely disturbed the Medici, who replaced them with goldsmith shops in 1593. -
Piazzale Michelangelo - Piazzale Michelangelo offers the most breathtaking views of Florence. From here, you can admire the entire city and its magnificent monuments.
This square is dedicated to the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo, with a replica of David at its center, surrounded by the four allegories from the Medici Chapels of San Lorenzo.
