Pisa Duomo - Opening Hours, Admission prices, Tickets & Tours

Piasa Duomo (cathedral) is absolutely stunning! It’s the biggest structure in the Piazza Dei Miracoli and it’s a work of art in itself with its beautiful painted walls and ceilings. When you enter, make sure you take your time to look at the decoration on every bit of wall and ceiling space – there’s so much to take in and it’s easy to miss something. The huge image of Christ on the ceiling over the altar (pictured below) is particularly impressive. You’ll notice that there’s a Venetian feel to whole place especially with the little columns near windows.

The huge frescoe of Christ in Pisa Duomo

There are many highlights inside the cathedral but we were particularly impressed with the pulpit, which dates back to 1302. It’s a huge stone structure with giant carved legs supporting the preaching platform. Look at the carvings, and you’ll find they depict New Testament scenes.

Tickets for the Duomo can be bought from either of two dedicated ticket offices run by Opera Della Primaziale Pisana. The main office is located in the building near the shop stalls – the entrance is under the clock. The other office is near to the leaning tower. Both are well signed. Duomo entrance is included in your ticket price for the Leaning Tower of Pisa which is currently 20 Euros (2024 prices). See the box below for latest availability for this ticket – you should always buy in advance to avoid disappointment. Duomo entrance is also included in a combination ticket which includes everything except the tower for 11 Euros (2024 prices).
