If you are in Italy a trip that you will never forget is towards the Region of Tuscany, particularly towards Pisa.
From the outset I will say that the people are very friendly and the landscape from the bus is very beautiful although the ride does not include stops on the road.
Of course, everyone wants to see that tower leaning against the principles of gravity but I will show it to it at the end of this post.
Upon arriving at the site one is speechless with the "Piazza dei Miracoli". There are three buildings that are architectural works of art. You have to walk away or look from a distance to appreciate the monumental of these buildings. In other words, these medieval structures were declared Cultural Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO, in 1987,
Here.
The Baptistery was the first building I visited. From the front door one knows that it is about years of art with a particular beauty. This Baptistery in Pisa is the largest in all of Italy.
Absolutely everything is beautiful: the floor, the stained glass windows, the tympanum of the entrance, the Baptismal font (that photograph did not go well for me) and the columns, among others.
I was struck by the details, especially in the columns. Below I show some of them.
The pulpit by Nicola Pisano is also a spectacle. You have to skirt it to capture all its beauty. According to the tour guide, this work is dated in approximately 1260.

This is the Cathedral of Santa María Asunta another spectacular building. From the entrance one has to stop to admire its enormous door not only for the height but also for the details that are in it.
The chapel of the Blessed Sacrament is a sacred place but it seems magical ... and, in general, the entire interior of the Cathedral is fantastic! There is too much art together.
As I promised at the beginning this is the Leaning Tower of Pisa. An architectural jewel of Romanesque art.
I hope you enjoyed the ride as I did. Obviously I ended up in the grass having a good Chianti wine with bread and cheese.

Thank you for reading. Welcome, your comments.
Infinite greetings and until an upcoming post.

oohh the leaning tower of Pisa! i've always wondered what its like to be inside that structure. by the way, is there a reason why the building is tilted that way?
simple subsidence of the land, nothing magical :-))
Thanks for the explanation! I appreciate it!
Tour guides say that all buildings are inclined and that the earth's material is owed. The Tower of Pisa is the one that looks more inclined. The wonderful thing was the ingenuity of the engineers of the time to achieve balance
So the building is still safe in the event of a strong earthquake?
No building in the world is safe before a strong seismic event

oh dear @marcybetancourt, how wonderful! although I am an Italian, I am always amazed at the beauty of these monuments that are so beautiful artistically, and so full of history! you made a beautiful journey !! congratulations :-))
The trip was really very beautiful. The wonderful Tuscan region. Landscapes, culture, art and population. People are very happy and very gentle. Thanks to all Italians for maintaining and preserving all this beauty and its history for other generations. Infinite greetings
yes, Italy is like an open-air museum. we are not always so good at doing things right, we often spend money on new infrastructures (which only destroy nature and beauty) instead of preserving what we have. but the ministry of cultural heritage definitely does a good job :-))

Querida, es un orgullo que hayas ido, sé que eres venezolana y me alegra que estés en Steemit! Hermoso lugar que estuviste, quisiera ir a visititar algún día como tú lo hiciste :)
Hola @iamsaray. Realmente fue un viaje espectacular. Nos organizamos un grupo de profesores aquí en Venezuela e hicimos el viaje con muchos detalles pagados desde aquí (hospedaje y algunos transportes). Ahora es muy difícil hacer lo mismo por las limitaciones de las divisas. Yo siempre quise ir a la región de la Toscana. Había leído mucho sobre Florencia y prácticamente obligué al grupo para visitar Pisa. oy me lo agradecen. Espero que puedas viajar y que puedas ir a Pisa porque estoy segura que lo pasarás muy bien. Yo también espero volver algún día. Gracias por tu comentario y bien Chévere que eres venezolana y visitaste mi blog.
Hermosa publicación que nos revelas acerca de tu viaje a la Toscana, @marcybetancourt.
Enhorabuena por ese viaje tan enriquecedor que has tenido y gracias por compartir tu experiencia con nosotros, con esas imágenes llenas de historia.
Felicitaciones, amiga. Recibe un fuerte abrazo.
Gracias por todo el cariño. En algún momento tendremos que organizarnos para viajar juntos. Por supuesto yo haré muchas fotografías jajajajaj. Gran abrazo
The religious buildings in Italy are spectacular. I have never been to Pisa but I have visited Tuscany many times and I was also in awe of stunning architecture that I saw there. Everything is so grand and beautiful.
That baptistery looks amazing. It's huge and those statues are very nice. It must have been a great experience to see it with your own eyes.
Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your curie vote!
Hi. The Baptistery is monumental. The Cathedral is a work of art. From its own architecture to everything it contains inside. When you visit these two works, the Leaning Tower is just the curiosity of your own inclination. I love the region of Tuscany in Italy. Thanks for your comment @delishtreats
Thank you so much for bringing us with you on your travel @marcybetancourt! The carvings on the stones and pillars are really amazing, aren't they? Do you get to go up the Leaning Tower of Pisa? I have always been amazed with how the tower leans and wonder how it does that without falling over.
Hi. Yes you can climb in the Tower. Regarding the inclination I think we all wonder why it doesn't fall. There is actually some modern engineering that supports it
Ah did you climb the tower? Oo I just googled, it says it is because the center of gravity is carefully kept within its base. It was built on soft ground and in the early 90s, and then again in may 2008, they removed soil from underneath the raised end and stabilized it.
We learn something new everyday :)
