The Saint Zeno Cathedral Bell Tower
The Saint Zeno Cathedral Bell Tower stands sixty-six metres high up in the sky. A truly unforgettable experience is to climb up to the top from where you can admire a wonderful panoramic view over the whole city.
San Desiderio oratory
The building appears as a bare, rectangular prayer hall with a gabled roof, and it houses a 16th century fresco by Sebastiano Vini.
Monumental Santa Barbara Fortress complex
The history of the fortress is linked to the events of Pistoia's Risorgimento (the period leading towards the unification of Italy) and stores graffiti, writings and drawings in black charcoal and bright red chalk, made by patriotic prisoners.
San Giovanni in corte baptistery
It is one of Pistoia's undisputed symbols as well as being one of the monuments which render the Cathedral Square truly unique. It is also considered to be one of the finest examples of Tuscan Gothic art.
