 tickets for visiting the
monuments by filipdebont
There is a ticket office behind the leaning tower; another office is at the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo and the last is near the Museo delle Sinopei.
I have bought my ticket at the Museo delle Sinopei.
There are different ticket combinations : for 1 monument, for 2 monuments, . . . .
I have bought a combined ticket for 5 monuments (Cathedral, Battistero, Camposanto, and the two Museo), price for this combined ticket was 10,50 Euro.
But the leaning tower is never included. For visiting (climbing) the leaning tower you have to buy a separate ticket.
The price for this (expensive) ticket was 15 euro.
And on the ticket you can read the hour when you can climb the leaning tower (for me that was 15.00). As the climbing of the tower is limited to groups of 30 persons. So if you want to climb the leaning tower, it is important that you first go to the ticket office to buy your ticket (and to get your hour of visit). Leave a Comment

I have often read that Campo dei Miracoli is one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, if not the world - and it has to be up there.
With the amazing Leaning Tower, the cathedral and the baptistry, plus the perfect green lawns, it sure is a magnificent sight!!
You just come and stare at the beauty around you....and if you are anything like me, take way too many photos....including the corny "holding up the tower" pics!
Shame about the souvenir sellers... Leave a Comment Address: You'll know it when you get thereDirections: follow the signs.....and the tour groups!!

 map of the Piazza dei Miracoli by filipdebont
As this big Piazza is dominated by three big monuments (Battistero, Cathedral (Duomo) and of course the leaning tower).
But nevertheless, if you have doubts, at several place there are placed sign boards with a map on it (see picture)
1. Cathedral (Duomo)
2. Battistero
3. Torre (leaning tower)
4. Camposanto Monumentale
5. Museo dell'Opera del Duomo
6. Museo delle Sinopie
7. Mura medievali (medieval walls) Leave a Comment Address: Campo dei Miracoli

 one of the most visited spots
in Italy by filipdebont
Och my God, what a crowd. This must be one of the most visited tourist spots in Italy.
Lot of tourists come here by bus, stop here for an hour or so in order to see the leaning tower and the Duomo, and then hop back in the bus towards the next Italian highlight.
I must admit that about twenty years ago, we also stopped here with our car, just for one hour, as we wanted to see the famous leaning tower.
Luckily for me, this time I had more time to visit (and admire) all the monuments. Leave a Comment Address: Campo dei Miracoli

 beautiful statue by filipdebont
It might be sculptured by Giovanni Pisano, but of that fact I am not sure, maybe one Pisa-specialist on VT can inform me on that.
If you want to see a perfect picture of this statue then visit the magnificent Pisa page of Helga67. (of course there is more then just this one picture, there are also lots of useful tips and nice pics, certainly worth visiting). Leave a Comment Address: Campo dei Miracoli

 Porta di Santa Maria by filipdebont
From this gate you have a splendid view over the Campo dei Miracoli. And also this is the entry gate for many visitors, as the bus stop is nearby. Leave a Comment Address: Campo dei Miracoli

The Tower is considered as the most distinctive monument in the Piazza dei Miracoli. It was begun in 1173 by Bonanno who ingeniously adopted the motif of the superimposted galleries used on Cathedral facade. After reaching only its third storey, the building of the Tower had to be abandoned due to a subsidence of the soil which caused its characteristic lean. The work was resumed a century later by Giovanni di Simone, who tried to rectify the Tower's inclination and raised it as far as its sixth srorey.
Cylindrical in structure, the Tower is surounded by columned arcades. A spiral staircase of 294 steps leads up to the top, where the bell-tower is situated. The bell-tower was built by Tommaso, son of Andrea Pisano, in the mid-14th century. Leave a Comment Address: Piazza dei Miracoli
