Day 4 - Florence; Pisa

We will visit the Square of Miracles with the Leaning Tower, Cathedral, Baptistery and Monumental Cemetery.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the campanile - free-standing bell tower - of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. It is situated behind the cathedral and is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square.

Brunelleschi's Dome, Florence

The eight lower panels of the Door of Paradise depict the eight virtues of hope, faith, charity, humility, fortitude, temperance, justice, and prudence. The bronze casting was done by Leonardo d'Avanzano, widely recognized as one of the best bronze smiths in Europe.

We will also be visiting the Piazza Signoria, the Ponte Vecchio, and the Santa Croce Church.
