Thank you. Yes the architecture is spectacular. When you think about how old these buildings are and the technology they had to work with it is awe inspiring.

My pleasure, I appreciate you all taking the time to view my images. Yes, the tower is a bell tower, the square, or piazza is for the cathedral, the baptistery, and the monumental cemetary. The tower just happened to become the famous landmark of them all.
