Pisa Cathedral
Monumental ConstructionDescription
Pisa Cathedral is a monumental construction in Italy, Europe.
Pisa Cathedral anchors the Piazza dei Miracoli beside the baptistery and leaning bell tower. Its arcaded marble exterior and large aisled interior exemplify the distinctive Romanesque architecture developed by the medieval maritime republic. Construction began in 1063 and the cathedral was consecrated in 1118. Later enlargement and rebuilding mean that these dates do not describe every part of the present structure.
