Pisa

On one of my last days in Florence, I took a day trip to Pisa. I didn’t sign up for a tour or anything just hopped on a train and went to Pisa. This was awesome. Sam you were right, I couldn’t miss Pisa. The leaning tour was slightly smaller than I expected. After some of the towers in Munich and Big Ben in England I expected a monster tower. But it was still incredible I love the design there should me more things on a tilt this (haha). My favorite part about Pisa was the Cathedral. This was one of the biggest Cathedrals I have been in as of yet, and was spectacular. Check out some of these pictures and you will see. I think the most famous piece of art inside the Cathedral was the pulpit sculpted by Giovanni Pisano. This was amazing. The pulpit was designed to capture different historical events in the marble sculpture and had many hidden meanings in the carefully detailed figures. The cathedral also has tons or beautiful stained glass windows surrounding it, which created a sort of glowing reverance. It also had many different tombs including a glass tomb, which was pretty intense to see. I also visited the cemetery called the Camposanto Monumento and the Battistero dome, which were also both at La Piazza del Duomo. Pisa was a really interesting place to visit, lots of history there.
