Full description

Building began in 1173 and the tower started to tilt before the third floor was finished. Your guide explains how the soft ground caused the lean, how engineers stabilised it at the end of the twentieth century and what the square meant to medieval Pisa.

You then climb the tower at your reserved time, about 30 minutes in all. A digital audio guide stays on your phone so you can explore the cathedral and the rest of Piazza dei Miracoli afterwards. Cathedral entry is subject to services and is confirmed with your booking.
