The image captures a picturesque view of this iconic square, showcasing the architectural wonders that have made it famous worldwide. On the right side of the frame stands the magnificent flank of the cathedral, its intricate details and towering presence commanding attention. Its Gothic design is awe-inspiring, with delicate arches and ornate decorations that speak to centuries of craftsmanship. To the left, we glimpse the majestic baptistery rising gracefully against a backdrop of distant buildings.
