# How many steps to the top of Giotto's Campanile?

**Steps to the top of Giotto's Campanile: 414**

Reaching the open terrace at the top of the bell tower, at 85 m · open to climb

The bell tower beside Florence Cathedral is 414 steps to an open terrace, and it is the climb to do if you want a photograph of Brunelleschi's dome rather than a photograph from it. Unlike the dome, it has landings at each stage where you can stop and look out. Giotto designed it and died after the first storey was built; Andrea Pisano and Francesco Talenti finished it. The two climbs are often confused in booking, and the tickets are not interchangeable.

## The numbers

- **Steps:** 414
- **Reaches:** the open terrace at the top of the bell tower, at 85 m
- **Public access:** Open to climb
- **Where:** Florence, Italy
- **Height climbed:** 85 m — 279 ft
- **Average rise per step:** 205 mm

## What the climb is like

About 25 minutes. Landings at each level make it easier than the dome, and it is far less crowded.

> Published counts for the same structure routinely disagree by five to ten per cent, and nearly always for one of three reasons: whether intermediate landings count as steps, whether the final platform step counts, and where the climb is deemed to start. The figure here says what it reaches.
