Giotto's Bell Tower - 414 steps to the top to view the city

#外游 The construction of Giotto's Campanile took place from 1334 to 1359. When the architect built the top three floors, he enlarged each floor to conform to the principle of perspective, so when looking up from the ground, the three floors appear to be exactly the same size. There were originally seven independent bells inside the bell tower, but in 1476, the upper level of the bell tower was cleared for renovation. If you are willing to take the trouble to climb the 414 steps to the top, it is a great place to appreciate the dome of the cathedral and the panoramic view of Florence up close. Compared to climbing to the top of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, this one is more comfortable and has a rest floor. If I have to choose between climbing Giotto's Bell Tower and Santa Maria del Fiore, I prefer the Bell Tower, especially when traveling with the elderly. However, you cannot buy summit tickets individually, you must buy a package. #2023Travel Wish I hope to fly to Tokyo and climb the world’s tallest tower, “Tokyo Skytree”, which is 634 meters high, to see the view from the top.
