Affording one of the best vantage points from which to take in the sights of Florence city centre, Giotto's Bell Tower soars to a height of 85 metres with its summit reached via a narrow staircase.
Also known as Giotto's Campanile, it was built in 1359 and designed by the Porto-Renaissance architect Giotto. It's situated next to the Florence Cathedral and Baptistery on Piazza del Duomo. |
