Pizza Tower part XI

We are following the guide with direction to the Duomo a magnificent church dedicated to Saint Mary of Fiore is the largest cathedral in the Christian world, essentially gothic style it was the manifestation of power and wealth, the façade has decorations of statues of marble, relief’s, and arches, it is the most elaborated work of the art and architecture. The interior is rather simple the predominant detail is the balustrade pulpit and the fresco of the Last Judgment.
In front of the Duomo is the Baptistery that also has an impressive exterior facade marble, of green, black, brown, and white color quarried from different parts of Italy, a masterpiece of harmony and intricate designs.
By the afternoon we’re giving the choice of going to a two different museums, the Uffizi (the Office) and the Academy, the Academy houses the original work of Michaelangelo the statue of David.
I choose to go to the Uffizi next to the Palazzo Vechio, the museum has three levels in a U-shape with several galleries of paintings, statues, and old manuscripts. There are hundreds of works on display of the most known artist such as Michaelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Boticelli, Rembrant, and others.

Friday morning we are traveling with direction to the coast side, but first we have to stop at the town of Piza where the leaning Tower of Piza. The tower is located at the Miracle Square, also is the Duomo and the Baptistery. The leaning tower had this name because of a faulty soil beneath the structure of white marble, constructed by Pissano in a cylindrical shape, Byzantine style is leaning one to two centimeters a year, the tower was closed for fear of collapse, but engineering restoration replaced the defective soil with 600 tons of lead to compensate the tower weight.
