Pulpit by Pisano in the Baptistry.
Holding up the tower.
The famous leaning tower. It is actually the campanile or bell tower and started leaning while still under construction due to the soft sandy ground it is built on. It has a little curve to it as they tried to straighten it a bit as they built it.
Campanile from the Museo side.
Wooden model in the Museo.
Crucifix. Museo.
