Pulpito e archi Battistero di San Giovanni Battista (Opera Primaziale di Pisa)
Baptistery of San Giovanni Battista, piazza del Duomo
Battistero di San Giovanni Battista (Opera Primaziale pisana)Thestrange acoustic effect: the shape of the building, the material used, the distribution of the interior spaces given by the columns and the space between the two domes make the Baptistery create an incredible effect of acoustic resonance, better known as Echo. The sound spreads throughout the space, like a continuous wave, rising in tonality to the point of suggesting the presence of an angelic choir. Every half hour the Baptistery staff performs a small demonstration for tourists: the effect is not to be missed.
