Don't miss... in Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

The most famous monument in Pisa, although not the most significant. The Leaning Tower is a bell tower 58 metres high, close to the cathedral. As soon as construction began, it started to lean. This did not stop it being built, but did mean it took two centuries to finish. Since 2002 you can visit it again, after they straightened it a few centimetres.

El Duomo

The Pisa Cathedral has an unusual light for a European Romanesque church thanks to the white marble of its cladding. Its galleries and interior are light and luminous because of its many windows, in contrast to other temples of the European Romanesque period.

The Baptistry

This is another of Pisa's unusual monuments. With a circular base, it is about as high as the Leaning Tower and slightly more than one hundred metres in circumference. Its blind galleries and arches complement the cathedral’s structure. Its enormous cupola is extremely impressive. Inside its columns and the marble decoration are striking.

The Cemetery

This construction is contiguous to the other two in the group of buildings in the Piazza dei Miracoli. Some commentators have suggested it is an open-air cathedral due to its rectangular structure surrounded by a Gothic cloister. A fire in the 20th century destroyed many of the frescos around its walls, although there are still many significant remains.

Piazza dei cavaglieri

This square, transformed by the Medici, was built over the old Medieval city. Here you’ll find the Palazzo dei Cavalieri, where young Pisan knights were trained. It currently houses the university. You’ll also see the Palazzo dell’Orologio, the result of remodelling the buildings in the square, where you can still see the structure of an old tower built into its façade.

The City Walls

These walls, which in times gone by encircled the city and defended it against enemy attacks, today serve as a backdrop to the Piazza dei Miracoli, which you enter through one of their gates, the Porta Santa Maria.
