More information

The Pisa Baptistery is an awe-inspiring monument standing next to the famous Leaning Tower and the Cathedral in the heart of Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli. With its impressive Romanesque and Gothic architecture, this magnificent building welcomes visitors from all over the world who come to admire its beauty and peaceful atmosphere.

A Glimpse into the Past

Construction of the Baptistery began in 1152 and continued for over two centuries. Over time, the structure transformed from a simple Romanesque style into a stunning blend of Gothic details, topped with a unique domed roof. Its interior is celebrated for outstanding acoustics, making even a simple whisper echo throughout the space.

When Is the Best Time to Visit?

If you’re looking to avoid crowds and enjoy a quieter experience, plan your visit during the early morning or later in the afternoon, especially outside the high summer season. Spring and early autumn offer pleasant weather and softer light for perfect photos.

What Can I See Inside?

Inside, you'll find a beautiful baptismal font, intricate sculptures, and elegantly decorated pulpits. Take a moment to enjoy the incredible sound of the acoustics—a real treat if you happen to catch an impromptu demonstration by staff.

Can I Climb to the Top?

Unlike the neighboring tower, visitors are not allowed to climb to the top of the Baptistery. However, from the ground floor, you can still admire the breathtaking dome and detailed craftsmanship throughout the building.
