Description
Step inside the world’s largest baptistery and admire its unique acoustics. Marvel at Romanesque and Gothic details as you explore this architectural icon.
Begin your visit to Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli with direct access to the Baptistery of San Giovanni, the largest baptistery in the world and a masterpiece of medieval architecture. As you enter, you’ll be greeted by the harmonious blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles, with a circular design that sets it apart from other religious buildings in Italy.
Wander through the spacious interior and discover the impressive marble pulpit carved by Nicola Pisano, a highlight of 13th-century sculpture. Pause in the central nave and experience the baptistery’s renowned acoustics—if you’re lucky, you might hear a staff member demonstrate the echoing sound that fills the dome. Take in the intricate details of the baptismal font, where Galileo Galilei is said to have been baptized, and gaze up at the double dome that creates the building’s unique resonance.
Your ticket allows you to explore at your own pace, so you can admire the ornate columns, the interplay of light through the windows, and the peaceful atmosphere that has welcomed visitors for centuries. When you’re ready, step back outside to continue your journey through the Square of Miracles, with the Leaning Tower and Pisa Cathedral just steps away.
Your ticket includes a digital audio guide app about the Pisa Baptistery, Leaning Tower of Pisa and other monuments of the Piazza dei Miracoli. You will receive the instructions with your booking confirmation.
