Pisa: Leaning Tower, Cathedral & Baptistery Ticket + Audio App

History

The Leaning Tower of Pisa, part of the Piazza dei Miracoli (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), began construction in 1173 and started leaning due to unstable soil during its 200-year build. Completed in the 14th century, the 297-step bell tower is renowned for its unintentional 4-degree tilt. The adjacent Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, started in 1063, showcases Romanesque architecture with intricate mosaics and artworks, while the Baptistery, begun in 1152, is famed for its acoustics and Gothic elements.

These monuments, central to Pisa’s medieval prosperity as a maritime power, reflect the city’s cultural and religious significance. The Piazza dei Miracoli, including the Camposanto and Opera Museum, preserves Pisa’s artistic legacy, drawing millions to its historic and architectural splendor.

Reviews

• The view is worth seeing, but the price is still excessive.
• Due to this booking (skip the line) we saved a lot of time. When you are on a holiday paying a bit extra really doesn’t matter if you are saving the time.
• Fast and efficient order. On the other hand, I couldn’t use my audio guide because the password I was given didn’t work.
