It took over two hundred years to build what is still Italy’s largest baptistery. Called the Pisa Baptistery of St. John, this Roman Catholic, marble building was finished in 1363. It stands about 180 feet tall in the grassy Piazza del Miracoli in front of the Pisa Cathedral. The lower half is Romanesque while the upper part is Gothic. Similar to its neighboring buildings, it also leans.
