Not to Miss

Giotto’s Campanile is an independent bell tower that can be found in the Piazza del Duomo of Florence. It is positioned right next to the Florence Duomo and is one of the finest examples of Florentine Gothic Architecture from the noted designer Giotto. It is 84.7 metres high and is supported by four buttresses on each corner.

Giotto never saw the Bell Tower completed, he worked on the project from 1334 until his death in 1337, thus only seing the first floor finished. The marble used in the bell tower comes from Carrara (white), Prato (green) and Siena (red).
