Bell tower of the Cathedral of Pistoia

The tower above the medieval square

The bell tower of Pistoia Cathedral gives Piazza del Duomo its unmistakable vertical profile. Rising beside the cathedral, it is one of the most recognisable sights in the old centre.

For visitors, the campanile is an essential visual landmark and a perfect reference point while exploring the square. Its stone structure reflects the long architectural history of the cathedral complex.

It is best appreciated from different angles around the square, especially together with the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the civic palaces.
