Review:
Pisa Cathedral, founded in 1064, wasn’t completed until 1118. This magnificent Cathedral is the cornerstone building in the Piazza dei Miracoli. The cross-shaped edifice is a design masterpiece. The ornate façade features a series of gorgeous marble and stone arches and lavish bronze doors. An Islamic bronze griffon, alternating striped color shades, and other exterior details demonstrate Arab and Mediterranean cultural design influences. The interior is marked by sumptuous, rich details. The ceiling over the main aisle has gold decorations, and the basilica dome features a stunning Assumption of Mary fresco. A renovation was completed before the Cathedral’s 900th anniversary in 2018.
