Pisa’s Baptistery, or Battistero, stands as a striking example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, located within the city’s UNESCO-listed cathedral complex. Clad in white marble, the baptistery features intricately carved rows of arches that lead up to a distinctive cupcake-shaped dome. Built in the 12th century, this structure is a testament to the artistic and architectural prowess of its time. Visitors can explore the detailed carvings and step inside to experience the rich history and sacred atmosphere, making it a compelling stop alongside the more famous Leaning Tower.
