Piazza dei Miracoli
No Tuscan sight is more immortalised in kitsch souvenirs than the iconic tower teetering on the edge of this famous piazza, which is also known as the Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square). The piazza’s expansive green lawns provide an urban carpet on which Europe’s most extraordinary concentration of Romanesque buildings – in the form of Cathedral, Baptistry and Tower – are arranged. Two million visitors every year mean that crowds are the norm, many arriving by tour bus from Florence for a whirlwind visit.

Palazzo dei Cavalieri
Palazzo dei Cavalieri was redesigned by Vasari and features remarkable graffiti decoration. Both palace and piazza are named after the Knights of St Stephen, a religious and military order founded by Cosimo I de' Medici.
