Belfry of Giotto

Giotto's Campanile, Giotto's Tower, Torre Campanaria di Santa Maria del Fiore
Italy, Florence
The Giotto Belfry is located 30 meters from Santa Maria del Fiore and is part of the Florentine Duomo complex. The foundation of the bell tower was laid back in 1298, but construction was completed only in 1359. Giotto's bell tower is considered an excellent example of Gothic architecture.

Giotto's Bell Tower
The bell tower is named after its first author, Giotto di Bondone. He designed and built the first tier. Later, construction was continued by Andrea Pisano and Francesco Talenti. The square building has a side of 14.5 meters and 84.7 meters in height (according to the project it should be 122 meters). Multicolored marble inlays and numerous sculptures make it a masterpiece of Florentine Gothic. White Carrara marble, gray-green marble from Prato and pink marble from Siena are used in the decoration.→

Worth a look
Outwardly, the bell tower is very beautiful, especially in an ensemble with a cathedral, and the pictures from it to the dome, in my opinion, are more interesting than vice versa. And in terms of height, judging by the photo, the dome and the bell tower are approximately the same. And if you do not feel sorry for a few euros for the sake of two or three good shots, it is worth going up.→

Belfry of Giotto
To the right of the cathedral is the Giotto bell tower, named after the author who started its construction. Pay attention to the decoration, these are scenes depicting the planets, virtues, crafts, arts, sacraments. It is slightly lower than Brunelleschi's dome. Entrance from the back side, there is a queue. The views of Florence are good. Choose one thing or a bell tower, or a dome (where the line is smaller).→
