Giotto's Campanile

Giotto's Campanile stands as a masterpiece of Gothic architecture adjacent to Florence's Cathedral. Designed by Giotto di Bondone in 1334, the campanile is clad in white, green, and pink marble, echoing the cathedral's facade. Climbing its 414 steps rewards visitors with breathtaking views over Florence's red-tiled rooftops, the Duomo's dome, and the surrounding Tuscan hills.
