La Piazza del duomo
(Cathedral Square) consists of the Cathedral (duomo) at the center,
the Baptistery
opposite the Cathedral front entrance and the world famous
leaning tower of Pisa at the back. The
medieval Cathedral was started in 1064 by the architect Buschetto and designed in an
Romanesque architectural style while the
Baptistery was started later in 1153. The leaning tower was started in 1173 and took 177 years to complete in three
stages due to the
notorious
sinking foundation problems.
