About Pisa Cathedral

This magnificent cathedral shares space in the "Field of Miracles" with the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Pisa Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery, all of which comprise one of the world’s finest architectural complexes. The Pisa Cathedral, which is often overshadowed by its neighbor the Leaning Tower in the Piazza dei Miracoli, is the blueprint for Romanesque churches throughout Tuscany. When it was added in 1380, the cathedral’s elliptical dome was the first of its kind in Europe. Once inside, the 14th-century octagonal pulpit sculpted from Carrara marble by Giovanni Pisano can’t be missed.
