Visit the Baptistery of San Giovanni, a mix of Pisan Romanesque with Gothic influences, with its circumference of 107.24 meters it is the largest baptistery in the world: the interior is deliberately empty and built in such a way as to create extraordinary acoustics and a very particular echo effect.
