PIAZZA DEI MIRACOLI

Piazza dei Miracoli, or Square of Miracles, is a renowned architectural complex in Pisa, Italy. Enclosed by medieval walls, it features four prominent religious structures: the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Leaning Tower, and the Camposanto Monumentale.

The Cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, showcases a blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles with intricate marble facades. The Baptistery, a circular building, is the largest of its kind in Italy, renowned for its acoustics and ornate carvings. The Leaning Tower, Pisa’s iconic symbol, is a freestanding bell tower famous for its unintended tilt. The Camposanto, a monumental cemetery, is said to contain sacred soil from Golgotha. Together, these structures symbolize the wealth and artistic achievement of medieval Pisa, making the Piazza dei Miracoli a UNESCO World Heritage site and a testament to the city’s historical and cultural legacy.
