Pisa's high street: Corso Italia Pisa's high street: Corso Italia Duomo e Torre Corso Italia is the heart of the city centre, belonging to the Quarter of San Martino.The two historical quarters of this side of the city, Mezzogiorno, are divided by this very lively street, considered the High Street of Pisa.An ideal walk can begin from the Central Station; walking through via Gramsci, we arrive at an elliptical square, quite chaotic because of the traffic: this is Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, represented by the statue in the middle. Remember this square: most of the city busses stop here, there will soon be a major underground parking garage and the central Post Office is located here.The buildings in the square are neo-gothic in style and were built with the square in 1872 after the demolition of part of the city walls and the old Gate of San Giulio.Also located in this square is the church of Sant'Antonio, which gives its name to one of the quarters. The church was rebuilt after the bombing with the exception of the façade, which is in the typical Pisan style.Near the church, in the square is one more thing you must not miss: in Via Zandoni, there is a massive mural by Keith Haring from 1989.Continue and walk down Corso Italia, the liveliest and most crowded street in the city. What you don't want to miss in Corso Italia is a piece of Pisan pizza, cooked in baking tins upside down or a piece of cecina, a soft thick omelette, a sort of polenta, made with chickpea flour. To be eaten with pepper and with or without focaccia; a Nutella wafer... you will smell the shop. If you need an Internet café, there is one in the beautiful Piazza Gambacorti or Piazza la Pera and the owner speaks perfect English. Do you like comics? Go to Fumettando, a shop specialised in comics in Piazza Gambacorti.This is a very good place to shop: the best shops can be found here and in Borgo Stretto, on the other side of the river. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 11/10/2019 The Leaning Tower The Leaning Tower Construction of the cathedral of Pisa's campanile began in 1173, but after only 5 years (they were working on the third floor at that point) the tower began sinking due to shallow foundations and unstable soil. It took nearly 200 years to complete the tower, both because architects were trying to figure out a way to make the tower stand and also because the city was frequently involved in battles against the cities of Florence, Genoa and Lucca. The tower was officially completed with the addition of the bell chamber in 1372. At that time, the tower was already leaning by about 1.5 m and it kept on sinking until major works were undertaken in the 1990s to stabilize the structure. The tower is now leaning by about 4 m and, since 2001, visitors are once more allowed to climb to the top. My first impressions of the tower were that its Romanesque architecture was truly beautiful, something that is often overlooked in favour of its more obvious characteristics, and that it was much more tilted than I imagined it to be! Climbing the tower's circular stairs is a bit of an experience in itself since it's almost like climbing up a boat that's rocking back and forth. The view of the city, the Piazza dei Miracoli, and the surrounding countryside was amazing. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 28/01/2020 Pisa's Cathedral Pisa's Cathedral When its construction began in 1064, the goal of its architects was that the new cathedral of Pisa should reflect the city's power and glory. At that time, Pisa was indeed one of the most powerful cities in Italy, and the treasures conquered by defeating other rival cities were either included in the design or provided the funds necessary to the construction of the new Romanesque-style cathedral. Covered in white and light grey marble, Pisa's duomo has been described as "a temple of snow-white marble". Its remarkable facade also shows a touch of Byzantine influence in its design. Although some of the cathedral's original art work was destroyed in the 1595 fire, one of the elements that did survive is the beautiful mosaic fresco above the main altar, the work of Cimabue (he died in Pisa while working on the mosaic) and his students. The dome painted by Riminaldi with a scene depicting the ascension of the Virgin is also quite impressive. Giovanni Pisano's richly carved pulpit is another one of the cathedral's must-see features. And the good news is that if paying 15 Euros to go up the leaning tower sounds a bit excessive, at least there's a combined ticket available for 10 Euros that allows you to visit the cathedral, the baptistery, the cemetery and two museums - you definitely get your money's worth with that one! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 18/06/2020 Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli: the Field of Miracles! Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli: the Field of Miracles! Pisa’s Campo dei Miracoli, the "Field of Miracles", is deservedly a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has to be one of the most stunning squares in the world. No matter that it is packed with tourists; its huge scale means that they – we – are all dwarfed by their surroundings and relatively easy to ignore. And what surroundings! Everyone has of course flocked here to see that Tower, but for me the majestic Cathedral and exquisite Baptistery were the stand-out attractions. The square is located on the edge of the medieval city, not at its heart where you might expect to find its cathedral, and is right by the oldest early medieval city walls, built in 1155 and perfectly preserved. And if “field” conjures up a patch of green, that is exactly what you will find here, the perfect backdrop for the white marble of the various buildings. By the way, if you come here first thing in the morning, you may not find the square deserted, but it will at least be quieter and you will be able to soak up some of the atmosphere, and take your photos, in relative calm. On a practical note, the building on the south side is where you go to buy your entry tickets for the various buildings in the square. There are different combinations, depending on which, and how many, you want to visit. We paid €8 each for entry to the Cathedral, Baptistery and Camposanto. Add the Tower and you’ll pay €15, or visit the cathedral only for €5. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/11/2019 The Luminara (The Candlelight) The Luminara (The Candlelight) This event takes place on the eve of the Patron Saint's feast day (June 16) and transforms the Lungarno into a phantasmagoric fairy-tale setting. The architectural details of the palaces , windows, cornices, balconies the parapets of the river and the bridges glow in the reflected light of over 70,000 lumini (small glass lamps burning oil or wax) while thousands of lighted candles float on the waters of the Arno. Sham architecture (machines) and a firework spectacle at the Cittadella Vecchia make this event, which dates back to 1688, even more fascinating. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 02/02/2020 Pisa's Palio Pisa's Palio On June 17, in honor of Saint Ranieri is played, as usual, the Palio di San Ranieri in Pisa, a historical event in the Pisano in June every year.During the evening four boats representing the colors of the oldest parts of the town - St. Mary, St. Francis, St. Martin and St. Anthony - A dispute over the waters of the Arno race, the legacy of prestigious tradition maritime republic of Pisa.Palio di San Ranieri derives from the ancient tradition that Palios were courses in Pisa, since medieval times, to celebrate the Assumption. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/01/2020 The Square of Miracles, Pisa The Square of Miracles, Pisa Pisa is famous in the world for its Tower but the whole city is very charming. I have been for the first time in Pisa during a trip with my own friends at the end of the high school. After parking outside of the city centre, we reached the Squares of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli) easily by walking, because the whole city is not based on so large distances. The Square of Miracles is surrounded by a wall and there are four monuments in it. The very famous Pisa’s Leaning Tower, on of the best known symbols of Italy’s in the world, Pisa’s Dome, the Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery. All these buildings were built in white marble on a vast green lawn in which many tourists decide to sit down in the days of sunshine. When I’ve been there, me and my friends we seated down in the grass having short lunch break and all the parts of the grass was covered by students of the local univesrity of simply tourists. Around the lawn there are small shops where you can buy anything related to the tower, such as little statues, lamps, t-shirts, dolls, pillows ... everyone has the shape of the leaning tower. I looked at the cathedral and the cemetery, which were very impressive, and entered into the tower and climbed up all its seps until the top, from which you can dominate all the Square and its beautiful monuments. Even the genius of Galileo Galilei often choosed to climb up on the top of Pisa’s tower to make its studies, even if we took the chance just to make some tourists funny photos! scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 22/02/2020 Pisa's dome Pisa's dome In the beautiful Square of Miracles, in Pisa, there is one the best architerctural art’s masterpiece of entire Tuscany: the Santa Maria Assunta’s Dome, as it is called this amazing building started in year 1069 and concluded around the half of IV century. The Dome is in the same beautiful location of the famous Pisa’s Tower protagonist of so many italian post cards: this cathedral is a real masterpiece worth of being admired and observed. An example is the beautiful San Ranieri’s Door, in bronze, which during Italian Middle Age has been the firts in its style. The interior of Pisa’s Dome is very elegant, all in white and black marble with amazing and superb columns rich in decorations, absolutely worth of a visit! After having visited the Dome you can easily complete, if you like, your visit of the beautiful Pisa: all the main monuments to see are in fact located just near the cathedral: already talked about the Tower, on which top you can go climbing up many and many steps, in the Square of Miracles there are also Pisa’s Baptistery, probably Tuscany’s most interesting after Florence’s one and the astonishing Monumental Cemetery. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 30/01/2020 Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei (Pisa, February 15, 1564 - Arcetri, January 8, 1642) was an Italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, father of modern science. His name is associated with important contributions in astronomy and dynamics - including the improvement of the telescope, which allowed important astronomical observations - and the introduction of the scientific method (often called Galilean method). Few of the millions of visitors each year through the beautiful Piazza del Duomo in Pisa know that this monument is a theatrical setting for Galileo: it represented a real scientific laboratory. It was inside the Cathedral, in fact, that the scientist understood the law of pendulums observing the oscillation of a votive lamp and according to legend, it was on the cathedral's bell that led experiments on falling bodies. Moreover, the life of the scientist was, like for every person from Pisa, closely tied to monuments. The Cathedral, a remarkable monument of Romanesque architecture from the unique optical effect, is the starting point of this Galilean path. In the close-by Baptistery, an attractive complex built between the twelfth and fourteenth-century, documents show that in 1564 Galileo Galilei was baptized. Also in Piazza del Duomo there is the Monumental Cemetery, not only a precious trove of works of art, but also the burial place of famous scientists: the simple white marble walls encircle the tombs of dead personalities such as Leonardo Fibonacci, the mathematician and physicist. The bell tower of the city, one of the seven wonders of the world (yes, the most famous Leaning Tower of Pisa) is also inevitably linked to the figure of Galileo. A Latin inscription at the entrance, remember that here the scientist conducted his experiments on the grave. Although it is possible that this story belongs to the myth arose in the centuries on the figure and work of Galileo, it is rather historically attested that in more than one occasion the Accademia del Cimento used the height of the tower for their demonstrations. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 18/10/2019 The Baptistry The Baptistry The structure of the Baptistery, covered with white marble, is essentially Romanesque style, though the original plan has not been fully realized, both for the succession of many artists, the influence of new trends in architectural vestiges. So with several interruptions, the baptistery was built in the period from 1153 up to the end of the next century, under the direction dell'architteto Diotisalvi. Much of the sculptural decoration, human statues, busts of saints and prophets belong to the artists Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. All the statues have been replaced by copies in order to avoid destruction. This monumental building is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and is part of the magnificent complex of Piazza dei Miracoli. Its dome-shaped pyramid, was built with red bricks and white lead. A curious note is that in the Baptistery of Pisa in 1564, was named Galileo Galilei. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 06/04/2020 The Cemetery The Cemetery The construction works of the Monumental Cemetery, begun by Giovanni di Simone, started at the end of '200. It could be defined as a long rectangular porch that surrounds a large lawn area and closed externally by a city characterized by marble arches and Gothic windows. The walls of the four corridors were painted in the sixteenth century by important artists: Piero di Puccio, Benozzo Gozzoli, Spinello Aretino and the so-called "Master of the Triumph of Death". The cemetery was destroyed during the war, the fire broke out due to a grenade. The frescoes were distorted and swollen, many sculptures were also damaged. Currently you can admire the sculptures completely restored, thanks to the Work of the Primate Pisana. The frescoes were detached from the walls with a delicate technique and put back together, so they came out sinopie: the preparatory drawings (the original idea of the teachers) that are very helpful for the study of masterpieces. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 24/08/2019 Church of Santa Maria della Spina Church of Santa Maria della Spina The Church of Santa Maria della Spina was originally a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Pontenovo. It was in 1323 that had the shape of today, thanks to the noble families of Pisa, among which, the cooperation of the Gualandi family. Its name derives from the fact that here we keep a thorn from the crown of Christ. The facade of the school reflects the exquisite work of Nino Pisano with statues, the Redeemer and angels. Inside the church is placed a small shrine by Stagio stage, where the relic is enclosed. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 11/11/2019 The mound of the Etruscan Prince The mound of the Etruscan Prince This burial complex is located In the vicinity of the suburban cemetery of Pisa.

The works have unearthed a large Etruscan tomb-shaped mound dating from the period between the end of the eighth century and seventh century a. C. This mound has a great depth of 4 meters and a diameter of 30 meters. The whole is surrounded by thin rectangular stones, around which were found large monoliths. It is thought that this was a tomb of an Etruscan prince. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/11/2019 Lungarno Lungarno The city of Pisa, is divided by the Arno river and its banks are the Arno river, a place famous for being a meeting place for young people and important reference point for those wishing to explore the city and beyond. Lungarno is a set of wide streets and old buildings that line the walls of stone and brick that are raised when necessary to prevent flooding of the Arno to devastate the city. On this grand Pisa Lungarno face significant buildings, such as the Church of San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno, the Church of St. Sepulchre, Palazzo Gambacorti, Palazzo Lanfranchi, Palazzo Agostini, the Royal Palace, the Palace's Day, the Church of Santa Maria della Spina among many other buildings and palaces.

In addition to the walls, several towers were built, some of them have remained unchanged, such as the Tower of Santa Maria, the Lion Tower, the Tower of St. Agnes. The whole thing was a real obstacle to the enemy. The Medici, in the sixteenth century did restore the walls also building a fortress adapted to new military techniques. During the Second World War, part of the walls were damaged and demolished.

Your outlined schedule for the day should include the things you will do, places you will visit, where you will go shopping and how you will find juicy meals in the course of the day.The Second DayWhat other better place to start your tour than Torre di Pisa (Leaning Tower), one of the continent’s most famous towers? The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa.

You will be able to see predominantly Pisan works stretching to as early as 14th century to date, as well as a variety of temporary exhibitions. The Battistero consists of domes piled on top of each other with each half of the roof in lead and the other half in tiles. Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo. Museo delle Sinopie is the home to wonderful wall art pieces, safeguarding the few precious 14th and 15th century frescoes that survived the 2nd world war. The Triumph of Death is the most notable of these frescoes, with extensive restoration uncovering various sinopie (preliminary sketches).

Corso Italia is the heart of the city centre, belonging to the Quarter of San Martino.The two historical quarters of this side of the city, Mezzogiorno, are divided by this very lively street, considered the High Street of Pisa.An ideal walk can begin from the Central Station; walking through via Gramsci, we arrive at an elliptical square, quite chaotic because of the traffic: this is Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, represented by the statue in the middle. Remember this square: most of the city busses stop here, there will soon be a major underground parking garage and the central Post Office is located here.The buildings in the square are neo-gothic in style and were built with the square in 1872 after the demolition of part of the city walls and the old Gate of San Giulio.Also located in this square is the church of Sant'Antonio, which gives its name to one of the quarters. The church was rebuilt after the bombing with the exception of the façade, which is in the typical Pisan style.Near the church, in the square is one more thing you must not miss: in Via Zandoni, there is a massive mural by Keith Haring from 1989.Continue and walk down Corso Italia, the liveliest and most crowded street in the city. What you don't want to miss in Corso Italia is a piece of Pisan pizza, cooked in baking tins upside down or a piece of cecina, a soft thick omelette, a sort of polenta, made with chickpea flour. To be eaten with pepper and with or without focaccia; a Nutella wafer... you will smell the shop. If you need an Internet café, there is one in the beautiful Piazza Gambacorti or Piazza la Pera and the owner speaks perfect English. Do you like comics? Go to Fumettando, a shop specialised in comics in Piazza Gambacorti.This is a very good place to shop: the best shops can be found here and in Borgo Stretto, on the other side of the river.
The Leaning Tower The Leaning Tower Construction of the cathedral of Pisa's campanile began in 1173, but after only 5 years (they were working on the third floor at that point) the tower began sinking due to shallow foundations and unstable soil. It took nearly 200 years to complete the tower, both because architects were trying to figure out a way to make the tower stand and also because the city was frequently involved in battles against the cities of Florence, Genoa and Lucca. The tower was officially completed with the addition of the bell chamber in 1372. At that time, the tower was already leaning by about 1.5 m and it kept on sinking until major works were undertaken in the 1990s to stabilize the structure. The tower is now leaning by about 4 m and, since 2001, visitors are once more allowed to climb to the top. My first impressions of the tower were that its Romanesque architecture was truly beautiful, something that is often overlooked in favour of its more obvious characteristics, and that it was much more tilted than I imagined it to be! Climbing the tower's circular stairs is a bit of an experience in itself since it's almost like climbing up a boat that's rocking back and forth. The view of the city, the Piazza dei Miracoli, and the surrounding countryside was amazing. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 28/01/2020 Pisa's Cathedral Pisa's Cathedral When its construction began in 1064, the goal of its architects was that the new cathedral of Pisa should reflect the city's power and glory. At that time, Pisa was indeed one of the most powerful cities in Italy, and the treasures conquered by defeating other rival cities were either included in the design or provided the funds necessary to the construction of the new Romanesque-style cathedral. Covered in white and light grey marble, Pisa's duomo has been described as "a temple of snow-white marble". Its remarkable facade also shows a touch of Byzantine influence in its design. Although some of the cathedral's original art work was destroyed in the 1595 fire, one of the elements that did survive is the beautiful mosaic fresco above the main altar, the work of Cimabue (he died in Pisa while working on the mosaic) and his students. The dome painted by Riminaldi with a scene depicting the ascension of the Virgin is also quite impressive. Giovanni Pisano's richly carved pulpit is another one of the cathedral's must-see features. And the good news is that if paying 15 Euros to go up the leaning tower sounds a bit excessive, at least there's a combined ticket available for 10 Euros that allows you to visit the cathedral, the baptistery, the cemetery and two museums - you definitely get your money's worth with that one! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 18/06/2020 Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli: the Field of Miracles! Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli: the Field of Miracles! Pisa’s Campo dei Miracoli, the "Field of Miracles", is deservedly a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has to be one of the most stunning squares in the world. No matter that it is packed with tourists; its huge scale means that they – we – are all dwarfed by their surroundings and relatively easy to ignore. And what surroundings! Everyone has of course flocked here to see that Tower, but for me the majestic Cathedral and exquisite Baptistery were the stand-out attractions. The square is located on the edge of the medieval city, not at its heart where you might expect to find its cathedral, and is right by the oldest early medieval city walls, built in 1155 and perfectly preserved. And if “field” conjures up a patch of green, that is exactly what you will find here, the perfect backdrop for the white marble of the various buildings. By the way, if you come here first thing in the morning, you may not find the square deserted, but it will at least be quieter and you will be able to soak up some of the atmosphere, and take your photos, in relative calm. On a practical note, the building on the south side is where you go to buy your entry tickets for the various buildings in the square. There are different combinations, depending on which, and how many, you want to visit. We paid €8 each for entry to the Cathedral, Baptistery and Camposanto. Add the Tower and you’ll pay €15, or visit the cathedral only for €5. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/11/2019 The Luminara (The Candlelight) The Luminara (The Candlelight) This event takes place on the eve of the Patron Saint's feast day (June 16) and transforms the Lungarno into a phantasmagoric fairy-tale setting. The architectural details of the palaces , windows, cornices, balconies the parapets of the river and the bridges glow in the reflected light of over 70,000 lumini (small glass lamps burning oil or wax) while thousands of lighted candles float on the waters of the Arno. Sham architecture (machines) and a firework spectacle at the Cittadella Vecchia make this event, which dates back to 1688, even more fascinating. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 02/02/2020 Pisa's Palio Pisa's Palio On June 17, in honor of Saint Ranieri is played, as usual, the Palio di San Ranieri in Pisa, a historical event in the Pisano in June every year.During the evening four boats representing the colors of the oldest parts of the town - St. Mary, St. Francis, St. Martin and St. Anthony - A dispute over the waters of the Arno race, the legacy of prestigious tradition maritime republic of Pisa.Palio di San Ranieri derives from the ancient tradition that Palios were courses in Pisa, since medieval times, to celebrate the Assumption. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/01/2020 The Square of Miracles, Pisa The Square of Miracles, Pisa Pisa is famous in the world for its Tower but the whole city is very charming. I have been for the first time in Pisa during a trip with my own friends at the end of the high school. After parking outside of the city centre, we reached the Squares of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli) easily by walking, because the whole city is not based on so large distances. The Square of Miracles is surrounded by a wall and there are four monuments in it. The very famous Pisa’s Leaning Tower, on of the best known symbols of Italy’s in the world, Pisa’s Dome, the Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery. All these buildings were built in white marble on a vast green lawn in which many tourists decide to sit down in the days of sunshine. When I’ve been there, me and my friends we seated down in the grass having short lunch break and all the parts of the grass was covered by students of the local univesrity of simply tourists. Around the lawn there are small shops where you can buy anything related to the tower, such as little statues, lamps, t-shirts, dolls, pillows ... everyone has the shape of the leaning tower. I looked at the cathedral and the cemetery, which were very impressive, and entered into the tower and climbed up all its seps until the top, from which you can dominate all the Square and its beautiful monuments. Even the genius of Galileo Galilei often choosed to climb up on the top of Pisa’s tower to make its studies, even if we took the chance just to make some tourists funny photos! scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 22/02/2020 Pisa's dome Pisa's dome In the beautiful Square of Miracles, in Pisa, there is one the best architerctural art’s masterpiece of entire Tuscany: the Santa Maria Assunta’s Dome, as it is called this amazing building started in year 1069 and concluded around the half of IV century. The Dome is in the same beautiful location of the famous Pisa’s Tower protagonist of so many italian post cards: this cathedral is a real masterpiece worth of being admired and observed. An example is the beautiful San Ranieri’s Door, in bronze, which during Italian Middle Age has been the firts in its style. The interior of Pisa’s Dome is very elegant, all in white and black marble with amazing and superb columns rich in decorations, absolutely worth of a visit! After having visited the Dome you can easily complete, if you like, your visit of the beautiful Pisa: all the main monuments to see are in fact located just near the cathedral: already talked about the Tower, on which top you can go climbing up many and many steps, in the Square of Miracles there are also Pisa’s Baptistery, probably Tuscany’s most interesting after Florence’s one and the astonishing Monumental Cemetery. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 30/01/2020 Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei (Pisa, February 15, 1564 - Arcetri, January 8, 1642) was an Italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, father of modern science. His name is associated with important contributions in astronomy and dynamics - including the improvement of the telescope, which allowed important astronomical observations - and the introduction of the scientific method (often called Galilean method). Few of the millions of visitors each year through the beautiful Piazza del Duomo in Pisa know that this monument is a theatrical setting for Galileo: it represented a real scientific laboratory. It was inside the Cathedral, in fact, that the scientist understood the law of pendulums observing the oscillation of a votive lamp and according to legend, it was on the cathedral's bell that led experiments on falling bodies. Moreover, the life of the scientist was, like for every person from Pisa, closely tied to monuments. The Cathedral, a remarkable monument of Romanesque architecture from the unique optical effect, is the starting point of this Galilean path. In the close-by Baptistery, an attractive complex built between the twelfth and fourteenth-century, documents show that in 1564 Galileo Galilei was baptized. Also in Piazza del Duomo there is the Monumental Cemetery, not only a precious trove of works of art, but also the burial place of famous scientists: the simple white marble walls encircle the tombs of dead personalities such as Leonardo Fibonacci, the mathematician and physicist. The bell tower of the city, one of the seven wonders of the world (yes, the most famous Leaning Tower of Pisa) is also inevitably linked to the figure of Galileo. A Latin inscription at the entrance, remember that here the scientist conducted his experiments on the grave. Although it is possible that this story belongs to the myth arose in the centuries on the figure and work of Galileo, it is rather historically attested that in more than one occasion the Accademia del Cimento used the height of the tower for their demonstrations. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 18/10/2019 The Baptistry The Baptistry The structure of the Baptistery, covered with white marble, is essentially Romanesque style, though the original plan has not been fully realized, both for the succession of many artists, the influence of new trends in architectural vestiges. So with several interruptions, the baptistery was built in the period from 1153 up to the end of the next century, under the direction dell'architteto Diotisalvi. Much of the sculptural decoration, human statues, busts of saints and prophets belong to the artists Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. All the statues have been replaced by copies in order to avoid destruction. This monumental building is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and is part of the magnificent complex of Piazza dei Miracoli. Its dome-shaped pyramid, was built with red bricks and white lead. A curious note is that in the Baptistery of Pisa in 1564, was named Galileo Galilei. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 06/04/2020 The Cemetery The Cemetery The construction works of the Monumental Cemetery, begun by Giovanni di Simone, started at the end of '200. It could be defined as a long rectangular porch that surrounds a large lawn area and closed externally by a city characterized by marble arches and Gothic windows. The walls of the four corridors were painted in the sixteenth century by important artists: Piero di Puccio, Benozzo Gozzoli, Spinello Aretino and the so-called "Master of the Triumph of Death". The cemetery was destroyed during the war, the fire broke out due to a grenade. The frescoes were distorted and swollen, many sculptures were also damaged. Currently you can admire the sculptures completely restored, thanks to the Work of the Primate Pisana. The frescoes were detached from the walls with a delicate technique and put back together, so they came out sinopie: the preparatory drawings (the original idea of the teachers) that are very helpful for the study of masterpieces. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 24/08/2019 Church of Santa Maria della Spina Church of Santa Maria della Spina The Church of Santa Maria della Spina was originally a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Pontenovo. It was in 1323 that had the shape of today, thanks to the noble families of Pisa, among which, the cooperation of the Gualandi family. Its name derives from the fact that here we keep a thorn from the crown of Christ. The facade of the school reflects the exquisite work of Nino Pisano with statues, the Redeemer and angels. Inside the church is placed a small shrine by Stagio stage, where the relic is enclosed. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 11/11/2019 The mound of the Etruscan Prince The mound of the Etruscan Prince This burial complex is located In the vicinity of the suburban cemetery of Pisa.

The works have unearthed a large Etruscan tomb-shaped mound dating from the period between the end of the eighth century and seventh century a. C. This mound has a great depth of 4 meters and a diameter of 30 meters. The whole is surrounded by thin rectangular stones, around which were found large monoliths. It is thought that this was a tomb of an Etruscan prince. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/11/2019 Lungarno Lungarno The city of Pisa, is divided by the Arno river and its banks are the Arno river, a place famous for being a meeting place for young people and important reference point for those wishing to explore the city and beyond. Lungarno is a set of wide streets and old buildings that line the walls of stone and brick that are raised when necessary to prevent flooding of the Arno to devastate the city. On this grand Pisa Lungarno face significant buildings, such as the Church of San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno, the Church of St. Sepulchre, Palazzo Gambacorti, Palazzo Lanfranchi, Palazzo Agostini, the Royal Palace, the Palace's Day, the Church of Santa Maria della Spina among many other buildings and palaces.

In addition to the walls, several towers were built, some of them have remained unchanged, such as the Tower of Santa Maria, the Lion Tower, the Tower of St. Agnes. The whole thing was a real obstacle to the enemy. The Medici, in the sixteenth century did restore the walls also building a fortress adapted to new military techniques. During the Second World War, part of the walls were damaged and demolished.

The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa.

The Battistero consists of domes piled on top of each other with each half of the roof in lead and the other half in tiles. Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo. Museo delle Sinopie is the home to wonderful wall art pieces, safeguarding the few precious 14th and 15th century frescoes that survived the 2nd world war.

Construction of the cathedral of Pisa's campanile began in 1173, but after only 5 years (they were working on the third floor at that point) the tower began sinking due to shallow foundations and unstable soil. It took nearly 200 years to complete the tower, both because architects were trying to figure out a way to make the tower stand and also because the city was frequently involved in battles against the cities of Florence, Genoa and Lucca. The tower was officially completed with the addition of the bell chamber in 1372. At that time, the tower was already leaning by about 1.5 m and it kept on sinking until major works were undertaken in the 1990s to stabilize the structure. The tower is now leaning by about 4 m and, since 2001, visitors are once more allowed to climb to the top. My first impressions of the tower were that its Romanesque architecture was truly beautiful, something that is often overlooked in favour of its more obvious characteristics, and that it was much more tilted than I imagined it to be! Climbing the tower's circular stairs is a bit of an experience in itself since it's almost like climbing up a boat that's rocking back and forth. The view of the city, the Piazza dei Miracoli, and the surrounding countryside was amazing.
Pisa's Cathedral Pisa's Cathedral When its construction began in 1064, the goal of its architects was that the new cathedral of Pisa should reflect the city's power and glory. At that time, Pisa was indeed one of the most powerful cities in Italy, and the treasures conquered by defeating other rival cities were either included in the design or provided the funds necessary to the construction of the new Romanesque-style cathedral. Covered in white and light grey marble, Pisa's duomo has been described as "a temple of snow-white marble". Its remarkable facade also shows a touch of Byzantine influence in its design. Although some of the cathedral's original art work was destroyed in the 1595 fire, one of the elements that did survive is the beautiful mosaic fresco above the main altar, the work of Cimabue (he died in Pisa while working on the mosaic) and his students. The dome painted by Riminaldi with a scene depicting the ascension of the Virgin is also quite impressive. Giovanni Pisano's richly carved pulpit is another one of the cathedral's must-see features. And the good news is that if paying 15 Euros to go up the leaning tower sounds a bit excessive, at least there's a combined ticket available for 10 Euros that allows you to visit the cathedral, the baptistery, the cemetery and two museums - you definitely get your money's worth with that one! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 18/06/2020 Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli: the Field of Miracles! Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli: the Field of Miracles! Pisa’s Campo dei Miracoli, the "Field of Miracles", is deservedly a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has to be one of the most stunning squares in the world. No matter that it is packed with tourists; its huge scale means that they – we – are all dwarfed by their surroundings and relatively easy to ignore. And what surroundings! Everyone has of course flocked here to see that Tower, but for me the majestic Cathedral and exquisite Baptistery were the stand-out attractions. The square is located on the edge of the medieval city, not at its heart where you might expect to find its cathedral, and is right by the oldest early medieval city walls, built in 1155 and perfectly preserved. And if “field” conjures up a patch of green, that is exactly what you will find here, the perfect backdrop for the white marble of the various buildings. By the way, if you come here first thing in the morning, you may not find the square deserted, but it will at least be quieter and you will be able to soak up some of the atmosphere, and take your photos, in relative calm. On a practical note, the building on the south side is where you go to buy your entry tickets for the various buildings in the square. There are different combinations, depending on which, and how many, you want to visit. We paid €8 each for entry to the Cathedral, Baptistery and Camposanto.

I have been for the first time in Pisa during a trip with my own friends at the end of the high school. After parking outside of the city centre, we reached the Squares of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli) easily by walking, because the whole city is not based on so large distances. The Square of Miracles is surrounded by a wall and there are four monuments in it. The very famous Pisa’s Leaning Tower, on of the best known symbols of Italy’s in the world, Pisa’s Dome, the Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery. All these buildings were built in white marble on a vast green lawn in which many tourists decide to sit down in the days of sunshine. When I’ve been there, me and my friends we seated down in the grass having short lunch break and all the parts of the grass was covered by students of the local univesrity of simply tourists. Around the lawn there are small shops where you can buy anything related to the tower, such as little statues, lamps, t-shirts, dolls, pillows ... everyone has the shape of the leaning tower. I looked at the cathedral and the cemetery, which were very impressive, and entered into the tower and climbed up all its seps until the top, from which you can dominate all the Square and its beautiful monuments. Even the genius of Galileo Galilei often choosed to climb up on the top of Pisa’s tower to make its studies, even if we took the chance just to make some tourists funny photos! scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 22/02/2020 Pisa's dome Pisa's dome In the beautiful Square of Miracles, in Pisa, there is one the best architerctural art’s masterpiece of entire Tuscany: the Santa Maria Assunta’s Dome, as it is called this amazing building started in year 1069 and concluded around the half of IV century. The Dome is in the same beautiful location of the famous Pisa’s Tower protagonist of so many italian post cards: this cathedral is a real masterpiece worth of being admired and observed. An example is the beautiful San Ranieri’s Door, in bronze, which during Italian Middle Age has been the firts in its style. The interior of Pisa’s Dome is very elegant, all in white and black marble with amazing and superb columns rich in decorations, absolutely worth of a visit! After having visited the Dome you can easily complete, if you like, your visit of the beautiful Pisa: all the main monuments to see are in fact located just near the cathedral: already talked about the Tower, on which top you can go climbing up many and many steps, in the Square of Miracles there are also Pisa’s Baptistery, probably Tuscany’s most interesting after Florence’s one and the astonishing Monumental Cemetery. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 30/01/2020 Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei (Pisa, February 15, 1564 - Arcetri, January 8, 1642) was an Italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, father of modern science. His name is associated with important contributions in astronomy and dynamics - including the improvement of the telescope, which allowed important astronomical observations - and the introduction of the scientific method (often called Galilean method). Few of the millions of visitors each year through the beautiful Piazza del Duomo in Pisa know that this monument is a theatrical setting for Galileo: it represented a real scientific laboratory. It was inside the Cathedral, in fact, that the scientist understood the law of pendulums observing the oscillation of a votive lamp and according to legend, it was on the cathedral's bell that led experiments on falling bodies. Moreover, the life of the scientist was, like for every person from Pisa, closely tied to monuments. The Cathedral, a remarkable monument of Romanesque architecture from the unique optical effect, is the starting point of this Galilean path. In the close-by Baptistery, an attractive complex built between the twelfth and fourteenth-century, documents show that in 1564 Galileo Galilei was baptized. Also in Piazza del Duomo there is the Monumental Cemetery, not only a precious trove of works of art, but also the burial place of famous scientists: the simple white marble walls encircle the tombs of dead personalities such as Leonardo Fibonacci, the mathematician and physicist. The bell tower of the city, one of the seven wonders of the world (yes, the most famous Leaning Tower of Pisa) is also inevitably linked to the figure of Galileo. A Latin inscription at the entrance, remember that here the scientist conducted his experiments on the grave. Although it is possible that this story belongs to the myth arose in the centuries on the figure and work of Galileo, it is rather historically attested that in more than one occasion the Accademia del Cimento used the height of the tower for their demonstrations. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 18/10/2019 The Baptistry The Baptistry The structure of the Baptistery, covered with white marble, is essentially Romanesque style, though the original plan has not been fully realized, both for the succession of many artists, the influence of new trends in architectural vestiges. So with several interruptions, the baptistery was built in the period from 1153 up to the end of the next century, under the direction dell'architteto Diotisalvi. Much of the sculptural decoration, human statues, busts of saints and prophets belong to the artists Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. All the statues have been replaced by copies in order to avoid destruction. This monumental building is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and is part of the magnificent complex of Piazza dei Miracoli. Its dome-shaped pyramid, was built with red bricks and white lead. A curious note is that in the Baptistery of Pisa in 1564, was named Galileo Galilei. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 06/04/2020 The Cemetery The Cemetery The construction works of the Monumental Cemetery, begun by Giovanni di Simone, started at the end of '200. It could be defined as a long rectangular porch that surrounds a large lawn area and closed externally by a city characterized by marble arches and Gothic windows. The walls of the four corridors were painted in the sixteenth century by important artists: Piero di Puccio, Benozzo Gozzoli, Spinello Aretino and the so-called "Master of the Triumph of Death". The cemetery was destroyed during the war, the fire broke out due to a grenade. The frescoes were distorted and swollen, many sculptures were also damaged. Currently you can admire the sculptures completely restored, thanks to the Work of the Primate Pisana. The frescoes were detached from the walls with a delicate technique and put back together, so they came out sinopie: the preparatory drawings (the original idea of the teachers) that are very helpful for the study of masterpieces. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 24/08/2019 Church of Santa Maria della Spina Church of Santa Maria della Spina The Church of Santa Maria della Spina was originally a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Pontenovo. It was in 1323 that had the shape of today, thanks to the noble families of Pisa, among which, the cooperation of the Gualandi family. Its name derives from the fact that here we keep a thorn from the crown of Christ. The facade of the school reflects the exquisite work of Nino Pisano with statues, the Redeemer and angels.

The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa.

Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo.

When its construction began in 1064, the goal of its architects was that the new cathedral of Pisa should reflect the city's power and glory. At that time, Pisa was indeed one of the most powerful cities in Italy, and the treasures conquered by defeating other rival cities were either included in the design or provided the funds necessary to the construction of the new Romanesque-style cathedral. Covered in white and light grey marble, Pisa's duomo has been described as "a temple of snow-white marble". Its remarkable facade also shows a touch of Byzantine influence in its design. Although some of the cathedral's original art work was destroyed in the 1595 fire, one of the elements that did survive is the beautiful mosaic fresco above the main altar, the work of Cimabue (he died in Pisa while working on the mosaic) and his students. The dome painted by Riminaldi with a scene depicting the ascension of the Virgin is also quite impressive. Giovanni Pisano's richly carved pulpit is another one of the cathedral's must-see features. And the good news is that if paying 15 Euros to go up the leaning tower sounds a bit excessive, at least there's a combined ticket available for 10 Euros that allows you to visit the cathedral, the baptistery, the cemetery and two museums - you definitely get your money's worth with that one!
Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli: the Field of Miracles! Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli: the Field of Miracles! Pisa’s Campo dei Miracoli, the "Field of Miracles", is deservedly a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has to be one of the most stunning squares in the world. No matter that it is packed with tourists; its huge scale means that they – we – are all dwarfed by their surroundings and relatively easy to ignore. And what surroundings! Everyone has of course flocked here to see that Tower, but for me the majestic Cathedral and exquisite Baptistery were the stand-out attractions. The square is located on the edge of the medieval city, not at its heart where you might expect to find its cathedral, and is right by the oldest early medieval city walls, built in 1155 and perfectly preserved. And if “field” conjures up a patch of green, that is exactly what you will find here, the perfect backdrop for the white marble of the various buildings. By the way, if you come here first thing in the morning, you may not find the square deserted, but it will at least be quieter and you will be able to soak up some of the atmosphere, and take your photos, in relative calm. On a practical note, the building on the south side is where you go to buy your entry tickets for the various buildings in the square. There are different combinations, depending on which, and how many, you want to visit. We paid €8 each for entry to the Cathedral, Baptistery and Camposanto. Add the Tower and you’ll pay €15, or visit the cathedral only for €5. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/11/2019 The Luminara (The Candlelight) The Luminara (The Candlelight) This event takes place on the eve of the Patron Saint's feast day (June 16) and transforms the Lungarno into a phantasmagoric fairy-tale setting. The architectural details of the palaces , windows, cornices, balconies the parapets of the river and the bridges glow in the reflected light of over 70,000 lumini (small glass lamps burning oil or wax) while thousands of lighted candles float on the waters of the Arno. Sham architecture (machines) and a firework spectacle at the Cittadella Vecchia make this event, which dates back to 1688, even more fascinating. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 02/02/2020 Pisa's Palio Pisa's Palio On June 17, in honor of Saint Ranieri is played, as usual, the Palio di San Ranieri in Pisa, a historical event in the Pisano in June every year.During the evening four boats representing the colors of the oldest parts of the town - St. Mary, St. Francis, St. Martin and St. Anthony - A dispute over the waters of the Arno race, the legacy of prestigious tradition maritime republic of Pisa.Palio di San Ranieri derives from the ancient tradition that Palios were courses in Pisa, since medieval times, to celebrate the Assumption. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/01/2020 The Square of Miracles, Pisa The Square of Miracles, Pisa Pisa is famous in the world for its Tower but the whole city is very charming. I have been for the first time in Pisa during a trip with my own friends at the end of the high school. After parking outside of the city centre, we reached the Squares of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli) easily by walking, because the whole city is not based on so large distances. The Square of Miracles is surrounded by a wall and there are four monuments in it. The very famous Pisa’s Leaning Tower, on of the best known symbols of Italy’s in the world, Pisa’s Dome, the Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery. All these buildings were built in white marble on a vast green lawn in which many tourists decide to sit down in the days of sunshine. When I’ve been there, me and my friends we seated down in the grass having short lunch break and all the parts of the grass was covered by students of the local univesrity of simply tourists. Around the lawn there are small shops where you can buy anything related to the tower, such as little statues, lamps, t-shirts, dolls, pillows ... everyone has the shape of the leaning tower. I looked at the cathedral and the cemetery, which were very impressive, and entered into the tower and climbed up all its seps until the top, from which you can dominate all the Square and its beautiful monuments. Even the genius of Galileo Galilei often choosed to climb up on the top of Pisa’s tower to make its studies, even if we took the chance just to make some tourists funny photos! scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 22/02/2020 Pisa's dome Pisa's dome In the beautiful Square of Miracles, in Pisa, there is one the best architerctural art’s masterpiece of entire Tuscany: the Santa Maria Assunta’s Dome, as it is called this amazing building started in year 1069 and concluded around the half of IV century. The Dome is in the same beautiful location of the famous Pisa’s Tower protagonist of so many italian post cards: this cathedral is a real masterpiece worth of being admired and observed. An example is the beautiful San Ranieri’s Door, in bronze, which during Italian Middle Age has been the firts in its style. The interior of Pisa’s Dome is very elegant, all in white and black marble with amazing and superb columns rich in decorations, absolutely worth of a visit! After having visited the Dome you can easily complete, if you like, your visit of the beautiful Pisa: all the main monuments to see are in fact located just near the cathedral: already talked about the Tower, on which top you can go climbing up many and many steps, in the Square of Miracles there are also Pisa’s Baptistery, probably Tuscany’s most interesting after Florence’s one and the astonishing Monumental Cemetery. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 30/01/2020 Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei (Pisa, February 15, 1564 - Arcetri, January 8, 1642) was an Italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, father of modern science. His name is associated with important contributions in astronomy and dynamics - including the improvement of the telescope, which allowed important astronomical observations - and the introduction of the scientific method (often called Galilean method). Few of the millions of visitors each year through the beautiful Piazza del Duomo in Pisa know that this monument is a theatrical setting for Galileo: it represented a real scientific laboratory. It was inside the Cathedral, in fact, that the scientist understood the law of pendulums observing the oscillation of a votive lamp and according to legend, it was on the cathedral's bell that led experiments on falling bodies. Moreover, the life of the scientist was, like for every person from Pisa, closely tied to monuments. The Cathedral, a remarkable monument of Romanesque architecture from the unique optical effect, is the starting point of this Galilean path. In the close-by Baptistery, an attractive complex built between the twelfth and fourteenth-century, documents show that in 1564 Galileo Galilei was baptized. Also in Piazza del Duomo there is the Monumental Cemetery, not only a precious trove of works of art, but also the burial place of famous scientists: the simple white marble walls encircle the tombs of dead personalities such as Leonardo Fibonacci, the mathematician and physicist. The bell tower of the city, one of the seven wonders of the world (yes, the most famous Leaning Tower of Pisa) is also inevitably linked to the figure of Galileo.

The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries.

The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules.

Pisa’s Campo dei Miracoli, the "Field of Miracles", is deservedly a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has to be one of the most stunning squares in the world. No matter that it is packed with tourists; its huge scale means that they – we – are all dwarfed by their surroundings and relatively easy to ignore. And what surroundings! Everyone has of course flocked here to see that Tower, but for me the majestic Cathedral and exquisite Baptistery were the stand-out attractions. The square is located on the edge of the medieval city, not at its heart where you might expect to find its cathedral, and is right by the oldest early medieval city walls, built in 1155 and perfectly preserved. And if “field” conjures up a patch of green, that is exactly what you will find here, the perfect backdrop for the white marble of the various buildings. By the way, if you come here first thing in the morning, you may not find the square deserted, but it will at least be quieter and you will be able to soak up some of the atmosphere, and take your photos, in relative calm. On a practical note, the building on the south side is where you go to buy your entry tickets for the various buildings in the square. There are different combinations, depending on which, and how many, you want to visit. We paid €8 each for entry to the Cathedral, Baptistery and Camposanto. Add the Tower and you’ll pay €15, or visit the cathedral only for €5.
The Luminara (The Candlelight) The Luminara (The Candlelight) This event takes place on the eve of the Patron Saint's feast day (June 16) and transforms the Lungarno into a phantasmagoric fairy-tale setting. The architectural details of the palaces , windows, cornices, balconies the parapets of the river and the bridges glow in the reflected light of over 70,000 lumini (small glass lamps burning oil or wax) while thousands of lighted candles float on the waters of the Arno. Sham architecture (machines) and a firework spectacle at the Cittadella Vecchia make this event, which dates back to 1688, even more fascinating. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 02/02/2020 Pisa's Palio Pisa's Palio On June 17, in honor of Saint Ranieri is played, as usual, the Palio di San Ranieri in Pisa, a historical event in the Pisano in June every year.During the evening four boats representing the colors of the oldest parts of the town - St. Mary, St. Francis, St. Martin and St. Anthony - A dispute over the waters of the Arno race, the legacy of prestigious tradition maritime republic of Pisa.Palio di San Ranieri derives from the ancient tradition that Palios were courses in Pisa, since medieval times, to celebrate the Assumption. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 19/01/2020 The Square of Miracles, Pisa The Square of Miracles, Pisa Pisa is famous in the world for its Tower but the whole city is very charming. I have been for the first time in Pisa during a trip with my own friends at the end of the high school. After parking outside of the city centre, we reached the Squares of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli) easily by walking, because the whole city is not based on so large distances. The Square of Miracles is surrounded by a wall and there are four monuments in it. The very famous Pisa’s Leaning Tower, on of the best known symbols of Italy’s in the world, Pisa’s Dome, the Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery. All these buildings were built in white marble on a vast green lawn in which many tourists decide to sit down in the days of sunshine. When I’ve been there, me and my friends we seated down in the grass having short lunch break and all the parts of the grass was covered by students of the local univesrity of simply tourists. Around the lawn there are small shops where you can buy anything related to the tower, such as little statues, lamps, t-shirts, dolls, pillows ... everyone has the shape of the leaning tower. I looked at the cathedral and the cemetery, which were very impressive, and entered into the tower and climbed up all its seps until the top, from which you can dominate all the Square and its beautiful monuments. Even the genius of Galileo Galilei often choosed to climb up on the top of Pisa’s tower to make its studies, even if we took the chance just to make some tourists funny photos! scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 22/02/2020 Pisa's dome Pisa's dome In the beautiful Square of Miracles, in Pisa, there is one the best architerctural art’s masterpiece of entire Tuscany: the Santa Maria Assunta’s Dome, as it is called this amazing building started in year 1069 and concluded around the half of IV century. The Dome is in the same beautiful location of the famous Pisa’s Tower protagonist of so many italian post cards: this cathedral is a real masterpiece worth of being admired and observed. An example is the beautiful San Ranieri’s Door, in bronze, which during Italian Middle Age has been the firts in its style. The interior of Pisa’s Dome is very elegant, all in white and black marble with amazing and superb columns rich in decorations, absolutely worth of a visit! After having visited the Dome you can easily complete, if you like, your visit of the beautiful Pisa: all the main monuments to see are in fact located just near the cathedral: already talked about the Tower, on which top you can go climbing up many and many steps, in the Square of Miracles there are also Pisa’s Baptistery, probably Tuscany’s most interesting after Florence’s one and the astonishing Monumental Cemetery. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 30/01/2020 Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei (Pisa, February 15, 1564 - Arcetri, January 8, 1642) was an Italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, father of modern science. His name is associated with important contributions in astronomy and dynamics - including the improvement of the telescope, which allowed important astronomical observations - and the introduction of the scientific method (often called Galilean method). Few of the millions of visitors each year through the beautiful Piazza del Duomo in Pisa know that this monument is a theatrical setting for Galileo: it represented a real scientific laboratory. It was inside the Cathedral, in fact, that the scientist understood the law of pendulums observing the oscillation of a votive lamp and according to legend, it was on the cathedral's bell that led experiments on falling bodies. Moreover, the life of the scientist was, like for every person from Pisa, closely tied to monuments. The Cathedral, a remarkable monument of Romanesque architecture from the unique optical effect, is the starting point of this Galilean path. In the close-by Baptistery, an attractive complex built between the twelfth and fourteenth-century, documents show that in 1564 Galileo Galilei was baptized. Also in Piazza del Duomo there is the Monumental Cemetery, not only a precious trove of works of art, but also the burial place of famous scientists: the simple white marble walls encircle the tombs of dead personalities such as Leonardo Fibonacci, the mathematician and physicist. The bell tower of the city, one of the seven wonders of the world (yes, the most famous Leaning Tower of Pisa) is also inevitably linked to the figure of Galileo. A Latin inscription at the entrance, remember that here the scientist conducted his experiments on the grave. Although it is possible that this story belongs to the myth arose in the centuries on the figure and work of Galileo, it is rather historically attested that in more than one occasion the Accademia del Cimento used the height of the tower for their demonstrations. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 18/10/2019 The Baptistry The Baptistry The structure of the Baptistery, covered with white marble, is essentially Romanesque style, though the original plan has not been fully realized, both for the succession of many artists, the influence of new trends in architectural vestiges. So with several interruptions, the baptistery was built in the period from 1153 up to the end of the next century, under the direction dell'architteto Diotisalvi. Much of the sculptural decoration, human statues, busts of saints and prophets belong to the artists Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. All the statues have been replaced by copies in order to avoid destruction. This monumental building is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and is part of the magnificent complex of Piazza dei Miracoli. Its dome-shaped pyramid, was built with red bricks and white lead. A curious note is that in the Baptistery of Pisa in 1564, was named Galileo Galilei. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 06/04/2020 The Cemetery The Cemetery The construction works of the Monumental Cemetery, begun by Giovanni di Simone, started at the end of '200. It could be defined as a long rectangular porch that surrounds a large lawn area and closed externally by a city characterized by marble arches and Gothic windows. The walls of the four corridors were painted in the sixteenth century by important artists: Piero di Puccio, Benozzo Gozzoli, Spinello Aretino and the so-called "Master of the Triumph of Death". The cemetery was destroyed during the war, the fire broke out due to a grenade. The frescoes were distorted and swollen, many sculptures were also damaged. Currently you can admire the sculptures completely restored, thanks to the Work of the Primate Pisana. The frescoes were detached from the walls with a delicate technique and put back together, so they came out sinopie: the preparatory drawings (the original idea of the teachers) that are very helpful for the study of masterpieces. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 24/08/2019 Church of Santa Maria della Spina Church of Santa Maria della Spina The Church of Santa Maria della Spina was originally a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Pontenovo. It was in 1323 that had the shape of today, thanks to the noble families of Pisa, among which, the cooperation of the Gualandi family. Its name derives from the fact that here we keep a thorn from the crown of Christ. The facade of the school reflects the exquisite work of Nino Pisano with statues, the Redeemer and angels. Inside the church is placed a small shrine by Stagio stage, where the relic is enclosed. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 11/11/2019 The mound of the Etruscan Prince The mound of the Etruscan Prince This burial complex is located In the vicinity of the suburban cemetery of Pisa. In 1853 there were twenty tombs dating to the Iron Age. The Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Tuscany has worked on excavations from 1994 to 1998. The works have unearthed a large Etruscan tomb-shaped mound dating from the period between the end of the eighth century and seventh century a. C. This mound has a great depth of 4 meters and a diameter of 30 meters. The whole is surrounded by thin rectangular stones, around which were found large monoliths. It is thought that this was a tomb of an Etruscan prince. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/11/2019 Lungarno Lungarno The city of Pisa, is divided by the Arno river and its banks are the Arno river, a place famous for being a meeting place for young people and important reference point for those wishing to explore the city and beyond. Lungarno is a set of wide streets and old buildings that line the walls of stone and brick that are raised when necessary to prevent flooding of the Arno to devastate the city. On this grand Pisa Lungarno face significant buildings, such as the Church of San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno, the Church of St. Sepulchre, Palazzo Gambacorti, Palazzo Lanfranchi, Palazzo Agostini, the Royal Palace, the Palace's Day, the Church of Santa Maria della Spina among many other buildings and palaces. Worth seeing! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/10/2019 The Ancient Walls The Ancient Walls They were built in 1155, with an average height of 11 meters. In addition to the walls, several towers were built, some of them have remained unchanged, such as the Tower of Santa Maria, the Lion Tower, the Tower of St. Agnes. The whole thing was a real obstacle to the enemy. The Medici, in the sixteenth century did restore the walls also building a fortress adapted to new military techniques. During the Second World War, part of the walls were damaged and demolished. And this is the case in the San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 07/01/2020 Piazza dei Cavalieri Piazza dei Cavalieri The objective of this square was to be the political center of the Ancient Maritime Republic. It is here that the Palaceof Elders was built. After the fall of Pisa, under the rule of the Medici, it was transformed by Vasari for Cosimo I, and was assigned to Headquarters of the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano, order of chivalry created to defend the coasts of the Tyrrhenian Sea from the Muslim invaders. This building currently houses the Scuola Normale Superiore, founded in 1810 by Napoleon Bonaparte. The Building of the clock completes the square, which was composed on commission of the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano in 1607. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/12/2019 Visit Pisa: The First Day Visit Pisa: The First Day Pisa is a city in Tuscany, in the Central parts of Italy.

The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa.

Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo.

This event takes place on the eve of the Patron Saint's feast day (June 16) and transforms the Lungarno into a phantasmagoric fairy-tale setting. The architectural details of the palaces , windows, cornices, balconies the parapets of the river and the bridges glow in the reflected light of over 70,000 lumini (small glass lamps burning oil or wax) while thousands of lighted candles float on the waters of the Arno. Sham architecture (machines) and a firework spectacle at the Cittadella Vecchia make this event, which dates back to 1688, even more fascinating.

I have been for the first time in Pisa during a trip with my own friends at the end of the high school. After parking outside of the city centre, we reached the Squares of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli) easily by walking, because the whole city is not based on so large distances. The Square of Miracles is surrounded by a wall and there are four monuments in it. The very famous Pisa’s Leaning Tower, on of the best known symbols of Italy’s in the world, Pisa’s Dome, the Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery. All these buildings were built in white marble on a vast green lawn in which many tourists decide to sit down in the days of sunshine. When I’ve been there, me and my friends we seated down in the grass having short lunch break and all the parts of the grass was covered by students of the local univesrity of simply tourists. Around the lawn there are small shops where you can buy anything related to the tower, such as little statues, lamps, t-shirts, dolls, pillows ... everyone has the shape of the leaning tower. I looked at the cathedral and the cemetery, which were very impressive, and entered into the tower and climbed up all its seps until the top, from which you can dominate all the Square and its beautiful monuments. Even the genius of Galileo Galilei often choosed to climb up on the top of Pisa’s tower to make its studies, even if we took the chance just to make some tourists funny photos! scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 22/02/2020 Pisa's dome Pisa's dome In the beautiful Square of Miracles, in Pisa, there is one the best architerctural art’s masterpiece of entire Tuscany: the Santa Maria Assunta’s Dome, as it is called this amazing building started in year 1069 and concluded around the half of IV century. The Dome is in the same beautiful location of the famous Pisa’s Tower protagonist of so many italian post cards: this cathedral is a real masterpiece worth of being admired and observed. An example is the beautiful San Ranieri’s Door, in bronze, which during Italian Middle Age has been the firts in its style. The interior of Pisa’s Dome is very elegant, all in white and black marble with amazing and superb columns rich in decorations, absolutely worth of a visit! After having visited the Dome you can easily complete, if you like, your visit of the beautiful Pisa: all the main monuments to see are in fact located just near the cathedral: already talked about the Tower, on which top you can go climbing up many and many steps, in the Square of Miracles there are also Pisa’s Baptistery, probably Tuscany’s most interesting after Florence’s one and the astonishing Monumental Cemetery. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 30/01/2020 Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei (Pisa, February 15, 1564 - Arcetri, January 8, 1642) was an Italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, father of modern science. His name is associated with important contributions in astronomy and dynamics - including the improvement of the telescope, which allowed important astronomical observations - and the introduction of the scientific method (often called Galilean method). Few of the millions of visitors each year through the beautiful Piazza del Duomo in Pisa know that this monument is a theatrical setting for Galileo: it represented a real scientific laboratory. It was inside the Cathedral, in fact, that the scientist understood the law of pendulums observing the oscillation of a votive lamp and according to legend, it was on the cathedral's bell that led experiments on falling bodies. Moreover, the life of the scientist was, like for every person from Pisa, closely tied to monuments. The Cathedral, a remarkable monument of Romanesque architecture from the unique optical effect, is the starting point of this Galilean path. In the close-by Baptistery, an attractive complex built between the twelfth and fourteenth-century, documents show that in 1564 Galileo Galilei was baptized. Also in Piazza del Duomo there is the Monumental Cemetery, not only a precious trove of works of art, but also the burial place of famous scientists: the simple white marble walls encircle the tombs of dead personalities such as Leonardo Fibonacci, the mathematician and physicist. The bell tower of the city, one of the seven wonders of the world (yes, the most famous Leaning Tower of Pisa) is also inevitably linked to the figure of Galileo. A Latin inscription at the entrance, remember that here the scientist conducted his experiments on the grave. Although it is possible that this story belongs to the myth arose in the centuries on the figure and work of Galileo, it is rather historically attested that in more than one occasion the Accademia del Cimento used the height of the tower for their demonstrations. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 18/10/2019 The Baptistry The Baptistry The structure of the Baptistery, covered with white marble, is essentially Romanesque style, though the original plan has not been fully realized, both for the succession of many artists, the influence of new trends in architectural vestiges. So with several interruptions, the baptistery was built in the period from 1153 up to the end of the next century, under the direction dell'architteto Diotisalvi. Much of the sculptural decoration, human statues, busts of saints and prophets belong to the artists Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. All the statues have been replaced by copies in order to avoid destruction. This monumental building is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and is part of the magnificent complex of Piazza dei Miracoli. Its dome-shaped pyramid, was built with red bricks and white lead. A curious note is that in the Baptistery of Pisa in 1564, was named Galileo Galilei. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 06/04/2020 The Cemetery The Cemetery The construction works of the Monumental Cemetery, begun by Giovanni di Simone, started at the end of '200. It could be defined as a long rectangular porch that surrounds a large lawn area and closed externally by a city characterized by marble arches and Gothic windows. The walls of the four corridors were painted in the sixteenth century by important artists: Piero di Puccio, Benozzo Gozzoli, Spinello Aretino and the so-called "Master of the Triumph of Death". The cemetery was destroyed during the war, the fire broke out due to a grenade. The frescoes were distorted and swollen, many sculptures were also damaged. Currently you can admire the sculptures completely restored, thanks to the Work of the Primate Pisana. The frescoes were detached from the walls with a delicate technique and put back together, so they came out sinopie: the preparatory drawings (the original idea of the teachers) that are very helpful for the study of masterpieces. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 24/08/2019 Church of Santa Maria della Spina Church of Santa Maria della Spina The Church of Santa Maria della Spina was originally a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Pontenovo. It was in 1323 that had the shape of today, thanks to the noble families of Pisa, among which, the cooperation of the Gualandi family. Its name derives from the fact that here we keep a thorn from the crown of Christ. The facade of the school reflects the exquisite work of Nino Pisano with statues, the Redeemer and angels. Inside the church is placed a small shrine by Stagio stage, where the relic is enclosed. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 11/11/2019 The mound of the Etruscan Prince The mound of the Etruscan Prince This burial complex is located In the vicinity of the suburban cemetery of Pisa. In 1853 there were twenty tombs dating to the Iron Age. The Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Tuscany has worked on excavations from 1994 to 1998. The works have unearthed a large Etruscan tomb-shaped mound dating from the period between the end of the eighth century and seventh century a. C. This mound has a great depth of 4 meters and a diameter of 30 meters. The whole is surrounded by thin rectangular stones, around which were found large monoliths. It is thought that this was a tomb of an Etruscan prince. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/11/2019 Lungarno Lungarno The city of Pisa, is divided by the Arno river and its banks are the Arno river, a place famous for being a meeting place for young people and important reference point for those wishing to explore the city and beyond. Lungarno is a set of wide streets and old buildings that line the walls of stone and brick that are raised when necessary to prevent flooding of the Arno to devastate the city. On this grand Pisa Lungarno face significant buildings, such as the Church of San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno, the Church of St. Sepulchre, Palazzo Gambacorti, Palazzo Lanfranchi, Palazzo Agostini, the Royal Palace, the Palace's Day, the Church of Santa Maria della Spina among many other buildings and palaces. Worth seeing! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/10/2019 The Ancient Walls The Ancient Walls They were built in 1155, with an average height of 11 meters. In addition to the walls, several towers were built, some of them have remained unchanged, such as the Tower of Santa Maria, the Lion Tower, the Tower of St. Agnes. The whole thing was a real obstacle to the enemy. The Medici, in the sixteenth century did restore the walls also building a fortress adapted to new military techniques. During the Second World War, part of the walls were damaged and demolished. And this is the case in the San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 07/01/2020 Piazza dei Cavalieri Piazza dei Cavalieri The objective of this square was to be the political center of the Ancient Maritime Republic. It is here that the Palaceof Elders was built. After the fall of Pisa, under the rule of the Medici, it was transformed by Vasari for Cosimo I, and was assigned to Headquarters of the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano, order of chivalry created to defend the coasts of the Tyrrhenian Sea from the Muslim invaders. This building currently houses the Scuola Normale Superiore, founded in 1810 by Napoleon Bonaparte. The Building of the clock completes the square, which was composed on commission of the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano in 1607. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/12/2019 Visit Pisa: The First Day Visit Pisa: The First Day Pisa is a city in Tuscany, in the Central parts of Italy. Being the capital city of Pisa province, the city is known worldwide courtesy of its bell tower (leaning tower).

The second day in Pisa scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 26/05/2020 Visit Pisa: The Second Day Visit Pisa: The Second Day Having experienced your first day in Pisa, you have a better idea of how exactly you will spend the second day in this amazing city. At this stage you already have the places of interest at your finger tips and you will be ready to start your intensive tour the first thing in the morning. Your outlined schedule for the day should include the things you will do, places you will visit, where you will go shopping and how you will find juicy meals in the course of the day.The Second DayWhat other better place to start your tour than Torre di Pisa (Leaning Tower), one of the continent’s most famous towers? The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa. Its expansive green lawns offer an urban carpet where Europe’s most extraordinary Romanesque buildings concentrate in the form of Tower, Baptistry and Cathedral. The pivotal buildings trace the path of life for medieval individuals from birth to death. This busy place accommodates 2 million visitors annually. At this part of Pisa there are numerous artwork and ancient historical items that will definitely interest you.Museo dell’Opera del Duomo is a museum that rounds up the architectural masterpieces of Piazza dei Miracolli, better than any other museum. It is a repository for artworks once displayed in the baptistery and cathedral. Ivory carvings such as Giovanni Pisano’s Madonna del colloquio and Madonna and Child are found at this museum! Besides, you will admire legendary collection of Islamic art pieces including the Griffin.Palazzo Blu is the other place to catch a glimpse of numerous art collections. The marvelously restored 14th century building facing the river has a stunning dusty-blue façade. Its over-the-top modern interior decoration is the ideal milieu for the Foundation Cari Pisa’s collection of artwork. You will be able to see predominantly Pisan works stretching to as early as 14th century to date, as well as a variety of temporary exhibitions. The Battistero consists of domes piled on top of each other with each half of the roof in lead and the other half in tiles. Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century.

The Square of Miracles, Pisa The Square of Miracles, Pisa Pisa is famous in the world for its Tower but the whole city is very charming. I have been for the first time in Pisa during a trip with my own friends at the end of the high school. After parking outside of the city centre, we reached the Squares of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli) easily by walking, because the whole city is not based on so large distances. The Square of Miracles is surrounded by a wall and there are four monuments in it. The very famous Pisa’s Leaning Tower, on of the best known symbols of Italy’s in the world, Pisa’s Dome, the Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery. All these buildings were built in white marble on a vast green lawn in which many tourists decide to sit down in the days of sunshine. When I’ve been there, me and my friends we seated down in the grass having short lunch break and all the parts of the grass was covered by students of the local univesrity of simply tourists. Around the lawn there are small shops where you can buy anything related to the tower, such as little statues, lamps, t-shirts, dolls, pillows ... everyone has the shape of the leaning tower. I looked at the cathedral and the cemetery, which were very impressive, and entered into the tower and climbed up all its seps until the top, from which you can dominate all the Square and its beautiful monuments. Even the genius of Galileo Galilei often choosed to climb up on the top of Pisa’s tower to make its studies, even if we took the chance just to make some tourists funny photos! scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 22/02/2020 Pisa's dome Pisa's dome In the beautiful Square of Miracles, in Pisa, there is one the best architerctural art’s masterpiece of entire Tuscany: the Santa Maria Assunta’s Dome, as it is called this amazing building started in year 1069 and concluded around the half of IV century. The Dome is in the same beautiful location of the famous Pisa’s Tower protagonist of so many italian post cards: this cathedral is a real masterpiece worth of being admired and observed. An example is the beautiful San Ranieri’s Door, in bronze, which during Italian Middle Age has been the firts in its style. The interior of Pisa’s Dome is very elegant, all in white and black marble with amazing and superb columns rich in decorations, absolutely worth of a visit! After having visited the Dome you can easily complete, if you like, your visit of the beautiful Pisa: all the main monuments to see are in fact located just near the cathedral: already talked about the Tower, on which top you can go climbing up many and many steps, in the Square of Miracles there are also Pisa’s Baptistery, probably Tuscany’s most interesting after Florence’s one and the astonishing Monumental Cemetery. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 30/01/2020 Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei (Pisa, February 15, 1564 - Arcetri, January 8, 1642) was an Italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, father of modern science. His name is associated with important contributions in astronomy and dynamics - including the improvement of the telescope, which allowed important astronomical observations - and the introduction of the scientific method (often called Galilean method). Few of the millions of visitors each year through the beautiful Piazza del Duomo in Pisa know that this monument is a theatrical setting for Galileo: it represented a real scientific laboratory. It was inside the Cathedral, in fact, that the scientist understood the law of pendulums observing the oscillation of a votive lamp and according to legend, it was on the cathedral's bell that led experiments on falling bodies. Moreover, the life of the scientist was, like for every person from Pisa, closely tied to monuments. The Cathedral, a remarkable monument of Romanesque architecture from the unique optical effect, is the starting point of this Galilean path. In the close-by Baptistery, an attractive complex built between the twelfth and fourteenth-century, documents show that in 1564 Galileo Galilei was baptized. Also in Piazza del Duomo there is the Monumental Cemetery, not only a precious trove of works of art, but also the burial place of famous scientists: the simple white marble walls encircle the tombs of dead personalities such as Leonardo Fibonacci, the mathematician and physicist. The bell tower of the city, one of the seven wonders of the world (yes, the most famous Leaning Tower of Pisa) is also inevitably linked to the figure of Galileo. A Latin inscription at the entrance, remember that here the scientist conducted his experiments on the grave. Although it is possible that this story belongs to the myth arose in the centuries on the figure and work of Galileo, it is rather historically attested that in more than one occasion the Accademia del Cimento used the height of the tower for their demonstrations. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 18/10/2019 The Baptistry The Baptistry The structure of the Baptistery, covered with white marble, is essentially Romanesque style, though the original plan has not been fully realized, both for the succession of many artists, the influence of new trends in architectural vestiges. So with several interruptions, the baptistery was built in the period from 1153 up to the end of the next century, under the direction dell'architteto Diotisalvi. Much of the sculptural decoration, human statues, busts of saints and prophets belong to the artists Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. All the statues have been replaced by copies in order to avoid destruction. This monumental building is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and is part of the magnificent complex of Piazza dei Miracoli. Its dome-shaped pyramid, was built with red bricks and white lead. A curious note is that in the Baptistery of Pisa in 1564, was named Galileo Galilei. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 06/04/2020 The Cemetery The Cemetery The construction works of the Monumental Cemetery, begun by Giovanni di Simone, started at the end of '200. It could be defined as a long rectangular porch that surrounds a large lawn area and closed externally by a city characterized by marble arches and Gothic windows. The walls of the four corridors were painted in the sixteenth century by important artists: Piero di Puccio, Benozzo Gozzoli, Spinello Aretino and the so-called "Master of the Triumph of Death". The cemetery was destroyed during the war, the fire broke out due to a grenade. The frescoes were distorted and swollen, many sculptures were also damaged. Currently you can admire the sculptures completely restored, thanks to the Work of the Primate Pisana. The frescoes were detached from the walls with a delicate technique and put back together, so they came out sinopie: the preparatory drawings (the original idea of the teachers) that are very helpful for the study of masterpieces. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 24/08/2019 Church of Santa Maria della Spina Church of Santa Maria della Spina The Church of Santa Maria della Spina was originally a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Pontenovo. It was in 1323 that had the shape of today, thanks to the noble families of Pisa, among which, the cooperation of the Gualandi family. Its name derives from the fact that here we keep a thorn from the crown of Christ. The facade of the school reflects the exquisite work of Nino Pisano with statues, the Redeemer and angels. Inside the church is placed a small shrine by Stagio stage, where the relic is enclosed. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 11/11/2019 The mound of the Etruscan Prince The mound of the Etruscan Prince This burial complex is located In the vicinity of the suburban cemetery of Pisa. In 1853 there were twenty tombs dating to the Iron Age. The Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Tuscany has worked on excavations from 1994 to 1998. The works have unearthed a large Etruscan tomb-shaped mound dating from the period between the end of the eighth century and seventh century a. C. This mound has a great depth of 4 meters and a diameter of 30 meters. The whole is surrounded by thin rectangular stones, around which were found large monoliths. It is thought that this was a tomb of an Etruscan prince. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/11/2019 Lungarno Lungarno The city of Pisa, is divided by the Arno river and its banks are the Arno river, a place famous for being a meeting place for young people and important reference point for those wishing to explore the city and beyond. Lungarno is a set of wide streets and old buildings that line the walls of stone and brick that are raised when necessary to prevent flooding of the Arno to devastate the city. On this grand Pisa Lungarno face significant buildings, such as the Church of San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno, the Church of St. Sepulchre, Palazzo Gambacorti, Palazzo Lanfranchi, Palazzo Agostini, the Royal Palace, the Palace's Day, the Church of Santa Maria della Spina among many other buildings and palaces. Worth seeing! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/10/2019 The Ancient Walls The Ancient Walls They were built in 1155, with an average height of 11 meters. In addition to the walls, several towers were built, some of them have remained unchanged, such as the Tower of Santa Maria, the Lion Tower, the Tower of St. Agnes. The whole thing was a real obstacle to the enemy. The Medici, in the sixteenth century did restore the walls also building a fortress adapted to new military techniques. During the Second World War, part of the walls were damaged and demolished. And this is the case in the San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 07/01/2020 Piazza dei Cavalieri Piazza dei Cavalieri The objective of this square was to be the political center of the Ancient Maritime Republic. It is here that the Palaceof Elders was built. After the fall of Pisa, under the rule of the Medici, it was transformed by Vasari for Cosimo I, and was assigned to Headquarters of the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano, order of chivalry created to defend the coasts of the Tyrrhenian Sea from the Muslim invaders. This building currently houses the Scuola Normale Superiore, founded in 1810 by Napoleon Bonaparte. The Building of the clock completes the square, which was composed on commission of the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano in 1607. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/12/2019 Visit Pisa: The First Day Visit Pisa: The First Day Pisa is a city in Tuscany, in the Central parts of Italy.

Your outlined schedule for the day should include the things you will do, places you will visit, where you will go shopping and how you will find juicy meals in the course of the day.The Second DayWhat other better place to start your tour than Torre di Pisa (Leaning Tower), one of the continent’s most famous towers? The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa. Its expansive green lawns offer an urban carpet where Europe’s most extraordinary Romanesque buildings concentrate in the form of Tower, Baptistry and Cathedral.

You will be able to see predominantly Pisan works stretching to as early as 14th century to date, as well as a variety of temporary exhibitions. The Battistero consists of domes piled on top of each other with each half of the roof in lead and the other half in tiles. Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo. Museo delle Sinopie is the home to wonderful wall art pieces, safeguarding the few precious 14th and 15th century frescoes that survived the 2nd world war. The Triumph of Death is the most notable of these frescoes, with extensive restoration uncovering various sinopie (preliminary sketches).

Pisa is famous in the world for its Tower but the whole city is very charming. I have been for the first time in Pisa during a trip with my own friends at the end of the high school. After parking outside of the city centre, we reached the Squares of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli) easily by walking, because the whole city is not based on so large distances. The Square of Miracles is surrounded by a wall and there are four monuments in it. The very famous Pisa’s Leaning Tower, on of the best known symbols of Italy’s in the world, Pisa’s Dome, the Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery. All these buildings were built in white marble on a vast green lawn in which many tourists decide to sit down in the days of sunshine. When I’ve been there, me and my friends we seated down in the grass having short lunch break and all the parts of the grass was covered by students of the local univesrity of simply tourists. Around the lawn there are small shops where you can buy anything related to the tower, such as little statues, lamps, t-shirts, dolls, pillows ... everyone has the shape of the leaning tower. I looked at the cathedral and the cemetery, which were very impressive, and entered into the tower and climbed up all its seps until the top, from which you can dominate all the Square and its beautiful monuments. Even the genius of Galileo Galilei often choosed to climb up on the top of Pisa’s tower to make its studies, even if we took the chance just to make some tourists funny photos!
Pisa's dome Pisa's dome In the beautiful Square of Miracles, in Pisa, there is one the best architerctural art’s masterpiece of entire Tuscany: the Santa Maria Assunta’s Dome, as it is called this amazing building started in year 1069 and concluded around the half of IV century. The Dome is in the same beautiful location of the famous Pisa’s Tower protagonist of so many italian post cards: this cathedral is a real masterpiece worth of being admired and observed. An example is the beautiful San Ranieri’s Door, in bronze, which during Italian Middle Age has been the firts in its style. The interior of Pisa’s Dome is very elegant, all in white and black marble with amazing and superb columns rich in decorations, absolutely worth of a visit! After having visited the Dome you can easily complete, if you like, your visit of the beautiful Pisa: all the main monuments to see are in fact located just near the cathedral: already talked about the Tower, on which top you can go climbing up many and many steps, in the Square of Miracles there are also Pisa’s Baptistery, probably Tuscany’s most interesting after Florence’s one and the astonishing Monumental Cemetery. scritto da Dave Mitchell - ultima modifica il 30/01/2020 Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei (Pisa, February 15, 1564 - Arcetri, January 8, 1642) was an Italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, father of modern science. His name is associated with important contributions in astronomy and dynamics - including the improvement of the telescope, which allowed important astronomical observations - and the introduction of the scientific method (often called Galilean method). Few of the millions of visitors each year through the beautiful Piazza del Duomo in Pisa know that this monument is a theatrical setting for Galileo: it represented a real scientific laboratory. It was inside the Cathedral, in fact, that the scientist understood the law of pendulums observing the oscillation of a votive lamp and according to legend, it was on the cathedral's bell that led experiments on falling bodies. Moreover, the life of the scientist was, like for every person from Pisa, closely tied to monuments. The Cathedral, a remarkable monument of Romanesque architecture from the unique optical effect, is the starting point of this Galilean path. In the close-by Baptistery, an attractive complex built between the twelfth and fourteenth-century, documents show that in 1564 Galileo Galilei was baptized. Also in Piazza del Duomo there is the Monumental Cemetery, not only a precious trove of works of art, but also the burial place of famous scientists: the simple white marble walls encircle the tombs of dead personalities such as Leonardo Fibonacci, the mathematician and physicist.

The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries.

For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules.

In the beautiful Square of Miracles, in Pisa, there is one the best architerctural art’s masterpiece of entire Tuscany: the Santa Maria Assunta’s Dome, as it is called this amazing building started in year 1069 and concluded around the half of IV century. The Dome is in the same beautiful location of the famous Pisa’s Tower protagonist of so many italian post cards: this cathedral is a real masterpiece worth of being admired and observed. An example is the beautiful San Ranieri’s Door, in bronze, which during Italian Middle Age has been the firts in its style.

Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei, the genius born in Pisa Galileo Galilei (Pisa, February 15, 1564 - Arcetri, January 8, 1642) was an Italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, father of modern science. His name is associated with important contributions in astronomy and dynamics - including the improvement of the telescope, which allowed important astronomical observations - and the introduction of the scientific method (often called Galilean method). Few of the millions of visitors each year through the beautiful Piazza del Duomo in Pisa know that this monument is a theatrical setting for Galileo: it represented a real scientific laboratory. It was inside the Cathedral, in fact, that the scientist understood the law of pendulums observing the oscillation of a votive lamp and according to legend, it was on the cathedral's bell that led experiments on falling bodies. Moreover, the life of the scientist was, like for every person from Pisa, closely tied to monuments. The Cathedral, a remarkable monument of Romanesque architecture from the unique optical effect, is the starting point of this Galilean path. In the close-by Baptistery, an attractive complex built between the twelfth and fourteenth-century, documents show that in 1564 Galileo Galilei was baptized. Also in Piazza del Duomo there is the Monumental Cemetery, not only a precious trove of works of art, but also the burial place of famous scientists: the simple white marble walls encircle the tombs of dead personalities such as Leonardo Fibonacci, the mathematician and physicist. The bell tower of the city, one of the seven wonders of the world (yes, the most famous Leaning Tower of Pisa) is also inevitably linked to the figure of Galileo. A Latin inscription at the entrance, remember that here the scientist conducted his experiments on the grave. Although it is possible that this story belongs to the myth arose in the centuries on the figure and work of Galileo, it is rather historically attested that in more than one occasion the Accademia del Cimento used the height of the tower for their demonstrations. scritto da Redazione Visit Italy - ultima modifica il 18/10/2019 The Baptistry The Baptistry The structure of the Baptistery, covered with white marble, is essentially Romanesque style, though the original plan has not been fully realized, both for the succession of many artists, the influence of new trends in architectural vestiges. So with several interruptions, the baptistery was built in the period from 1153 up to the end of the next century, under the direction dell'architteto Diotisalvi. Much of the sculptural decoration, human statues, busts of saints and prophets belong to the artists Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. All the statues have been replaced by copies in order to avoid destruction. This monumental building is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and is part of the magnificent complex of Piazza dei Miracoli. Its dome-shaped pyramid, was built with red bricks and white lead. A curious note is that in the Baptistery of Pisa in 1564, was named Galileo Galilei. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 06/04/2020 The Cemetery The Cemetery The construction works of the Monumental Cemetery, begun by Giovanni di Simone, started at the end of '200. It could be defined as a long rectangular porch that surrounds a large lawn area and closed externally by a city characterized by marble arches and Gothic windows. The walls of the four corridors were painted in the sixteenth century by important artists: Piero di Puccio, Benozzo Gozzoli, Spinello Aretino and the so-called "Master of the Triumph of Death". The cemetery was destroyed during the war, the fire broke out due to a grenade. The frescoes were distorted and swollen, many sculptures were also damaged. Currently you can admire the sculptures completely restored, thanks to the Work of the Primate Pisana. The frescoes were detached from the walls with a delicate technique and put back together, so they came out sinopie: the preparatory drawings (the original idea of the teachers) that are very helpful for the study of masterpieces. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 24/08/2019 Church of Santa Maria della Spina Church of Santa Maria della Spina The Church of Santa Maria della Spina was originally a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Pontenovo. It was in 1323 that had the shape of today, thanks to the noble families of Pisa, among which, the cooperation of the Gualandi family. Its name derives from the fact that here we keep a thorn from the crown of Christ. The facade of the school reflects the exquisite work of Nino Pisano with statues, the Redeemer and angels. Inside the church is placed a small shrine by Stagio stage, where the relic is enclosed. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 11/11/2019 The mound of the Etruscan Prince The mound of the Etruscan Prince This burial complex is located In the vicinity of the suburban cemetery of Pisa.

Your outlined schedule for the day should include the things you will do, places you will visit, where you will go shopping and how you will find juicy meals in the course of the day.The Second DayWhat other better place to start your tour than Torre di Pisa (Leaning Tower), one of the continent’s most famous towers? The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa. Its expansive green lawns offer an urban carpet where Europe’s most extraordinary Romanesque buildings concentrate in the form of Tower, Baptistry and Cathedral.

The Battistero consists of domes piled on top of each other with each half of the roof in lead and the other half in tiles. Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo. Museo delle Sinopie is the home to wonderful wall art pieces, safeguarding the few precious 14th and 15th century frescoes that survived the 2nd world war. The Triumph of Death is the most notable of these frescoes, with extensive restoration uncovering various sinopie (preliminary sketches).

Galileo Galilei (Pisa, February 15, 1564 - Arcetri, January 8, 1642) was an Italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, father of modern science. His name is associated with important contributions in astronomy and dynamics - including the improvement of the telescope, which allowed important astronomical observations - and the introduction of the scientific method (often called Galilean method). Few of the millions of visitors each year through the beautiful Piazza del Duomo in Pisa know that this monument is a theatrical setting for Galileo: it represented a real scientific laboratory. It was inside the Cathedral, in fact, that the scientist understood the law of pendulums observing the oscillation of a votive lamp and according to legend, it was on the cathedral's bell that led experiments on falling bodies. Moreover, the life of the scientist was, like for every person from Pisa, closely tied to monuments. The Cathedral, a remarkable monument of Romanesque architecture from the unique optical effect, is the starting point of this Galilean path. In the close-by Baptistery, an attractive complex built between the twelfth and fourteenth-century, documents show that in 1564 Galileo Galilei was baptized. Also in Piazza del Duomo there is the Monumental Cemetery, not only a precious trove of works of art, but also the burial place of famous scientists: the simple white marble walls encircle the tombs of dead personalities such as Leonardo Fibonacci, the mathematician and physicist. The bell tower of the city, one of the seven wonders of the world (yes, the most famous Leaning Tower of Pisa) is also inevitably linked to the figure of Galileo. A Latin inscription at the entrance, remember that here the scientist conducted his experiments on the grave. Although it is possible that this story belongs to the myth arose in the centuries on the figure and work of Galileo, it is rather historically attested that in more than one occasion the Accademia del Cimento used the height of the tower for their demonstrations.
The Baptistry The Baptistry The structure of the Baptistery, covered with white marble, is essentially Romanesque style, though the original plan has not been fully realized, both for the succession of many artists, the influence of new trends in architectural vestiges. So with several interruptions, the baptistery was built in the period from 1153 up to the end of the next century, under the direction dell'architteto Diotisalvi. Much of the sculptural decoration, human statues, busts of saints and prophets belong to the artists Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. All the statues have been replaced by copies in order to avoid destruction. This monumental building is dedicated to St. John the Baptist and is part of the magnificent complex of Piazza dei Miracoli. Its dome-shaped pyramid, was built with red bricks and white lead. A curious note is that in the Baptistery of Pisa in 1564, was named Galileo Galilei. scritto da Cedric Mills - ultima modifica il 06/04/2020 The Cemetery The Cemetery The construction works of the Monumental Cemetery, begun by Giovanni di Simone, started at the end of '200. It could be defined as a long rectangular porch that surrounds a large lawn area and closed externally by a city characterized by marble arches and Gothic windows. The walls of the four corridors were painted in the sixteenth century by important artists: Piero di Puccio, Benozzo Gozzoli, Spinello Aretino and the so-called "Master of the Triumph of Death". The cemetery was destroyed during the war, the fire broke out due to a grenade. The frescoes were distorted and swollen, many sculptures were also damaged. Currently you can admire the sculptures completely restored, thanks to the Work of the Primate Pisana. The frescoes were detached from the walls with a delicate technique and put back together, so they came out sinopie: the preparatory drawings (the original idea of the teachers) that are very helpful for the study of masterpieces. scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 24/08/2019 Church of Santa Maria della Spina Church of Santa Maria della Spina The Church of Santa Maria della Spina was originally a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Pontenovo. It was in 1323 that had the shape of today, thanks to the noble families of Pisa, among which, the cooperation of the Gualandi family. Its name derives from the fact that here we keep a thorn from the crown of Christ. The facade of the school reflects the exquisite work of Nino Pisano with statues, the Redeemer and angels. Inside the church is placed a small shrine by Stagio stage, where the relic is enclosed. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 11/11/2019 The mound of the Etruscan Prince The mound of the Etruscan Prince This burial complex is located In the vicinity of the suburban cemetery of Pisa. In 1853 there were twenty tombs dating to the Iron Age. The Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Tuscany has worked on excavations from 1994 to 1998. The works have unearthed a large Etruscan tomb-shaped mound dating from the period between the end of the eighth century and seventh century a. C. This mound has a great depth of 4 meters and a diameter of 30 meters. The whole is surrounded by thin rectangular stones, around which were found large monoliths. It is thought that this was a tomb of an Etruscan prince. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 13/11/2019 Lungarno Lungarno The city of Pisa, is divided by the Arno river and its banks are the Arno river, a place famous for being a meeting place for young people and important reference point for those wishing to explore the city and beyond. Lungarno is a set of wide streets and old buildings that line the walls of stone and brick that are raised when necessary to prevent flooding of the Arno to devastate the city.

Worth seeing! scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 27/10/2019 The Ancient Walls The Ancient Walls They were built in 1155, with an average height of 11 meters. In addition to the walls, several towers were built, some of them have remained unchanged, such as the Tower of Santa Maria, the Lion Tower, the Tower of St. Agnes. The whole thing was a real obstacle to the enemy. The Medici, in the sixteenth century did restore the walls also building a fortress adapted to new military techniques. During the Second World War, part of the walls were damaged and demolished. And this is the case in the San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 07/01/2020 Piazza dei Cavalieri Piazza dei Cavalieri The objective of this square was to be the political center of the Ancient Maritime Republic. It is here that the Palaceof Elders was built. After the fall of Pisa, under the rule of the Medici, it was transformed by Vasari for Cosimo I, and was assigned to Headquarters of the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano, order of chivalry created to defend the coasts of the Tyrrhenian Sea from the Muslim invaders. This building currently houses the Scuola Normale Superiore, founded in 1810 by Napoleon Bonaparte. The Building of the clock completes the square, which was composed on commission of the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano in 1607. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 20/12/2019 Visit Pisa: The First Day Visit Pisa: The First Day Pisa is a city in Tuscany, in the Central parts of Italy.

The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa.

The Battistero consists of domes piled on top of each other with each half of the roof in lead and the other half in tiles. Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo. Museo delle Sinopie is the home to wonderful wall art pieces, safeguarding the few precious 14th and 15th century frescoes that survived the 2nd world war. The Triumph of Death is the most notable of these frescoes, with extensive restoration uncovering various sinopie (preliminary sketches).

The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries.

Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo.

The construction works of the Monumental Cemetery, begun by Giovanni di Simone, started at the end of '200. It could be defined as a long rectangular porch that surrounds a large lawn area and closed externally by a city characterized by marble arches and Gothic windows. The walls of the four corridors were painted in the sixteenth century by important artists: Piero di Puccio, Benozzo Gozzoli, Spinello Aretino and the so-called "Master of the Triumph of Death". The cemetery was destroyed during the war, the fire broke out due to a grenade. The frescoes were distorted and swollen, many sculptures were also damaged. Currently you can admire the sculptures completely restored, thanks to the Work of the Primate Pisana. The frescoes were detached from the walls with a delicate technique and put back together, so they came out sinopie: the preparatory drawings (the original idea of the teachers) that are very helpful for the study of masterpieces.
Church of Santa Maria della Spina Church of Santa Maria della Spina The Church of Santa Maria della Spina was originally a chapel dedicated to St. Mary Pontenovo. It was in 1323 that had the shape of today, thanks to the noble families of Pisa, among which, the cooperation of the Gualandi family. Its name derives from the fact that here we keep a thorn from the crown of Christ. The facade of the school reflects the exquisite work of Nino Pisano with statues, the Redeemer and angels. Inside the church is placed a small shrine by Stagio stage, where the relic is enclosed. scritto da Chiara Guzzetti - ultima modifica il 11/11/2019 The mound of the Etruscan Prince The mound of the Etruscan Prince This burial complex is located In the vicinity of the suburban cemetery of Pisa.

The second day in Pisa scritto da Alexandra Evans - ultima modifica il 26/05/2020 Visit Pisa: The Second Day Visit Pisa: The Second Day Having experienced your first day in Pisa, you have a better idea of how exactly you will spend the second day in this amazing city.

Your outlined schedule for the day should include the things you will do, places you will visit, where you will go shopping and how you will find juicy meals in the course of the day.The Second DayWhat other better place to start your tour than Torre di Pisa (Leaning Tower), one of the continent’s most famous towers? The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa.

The marvelously restored 14th century building facing the river has a stunning dusty-blue façade. Its over-the-top modern interior decoration is the ideal milieu for the Foundation Cari Pisa’s collection of artwork. You will be able to see predominantly Pisan works stretching to as early as 14th century to date, as well as a variety of temporary exhibitions. The Battistero consists of domes piled on top of each other with each half of the roof in lead and the other half in tiles. Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo. Museo delle Sinopie is the home to wonderful wall art pieces, safeguarding the few precious 14th and 15th century frescoes that survived the 2nd world war. The Triumph of Death is the most notable of these frescoes, with extensive restoration uncovering various sinopie (preliminary sketches).

The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries.

Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo.

Your outlined schedule for the day should include the things you will do, places you will visit, where you will go shopping and how you will find juicy meals in the course of the day.The Second DayWhat other better place to start your tour than Torre di Pisa (Leaning Tower), one of the continent’s most famous towers? The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa.

You will be able to see predominantly Pisan works stretching to as early as 14th century to date, as well as a variety of temporary exhibitions. The Battistero consists of domes piled on top of each other with each half of the roof in lead and the other half in tiles. Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo. Museo delle Sinopie is the home to wonderful wall art pieces, safeguarding the few precious 14th and 15th century frescoes that survived the 2nd world war. The Triumph of Death is the most notable of these frescoes, with extensive restoration uncovering various sinopie (preliminary sketches).

The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries.

Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo.

Your outlined schedule for the day should include the things you will do, places you will visit, where you will go shopping and how you will find juicy meals in the course of the day.The Second DayWhat other better place to start your tour than Torre di Pisa (Leaning Tower), one of the continent’s most famous towers? The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa.

Its over-the-top modern interior decoration is the ideal milieu for the Foundation Cari Pisa’s collection of artwork. You will be able to see predominantly Pisan works stretching to as early as 14th century to date, as well as a variety of temporary exhibitions. The Battistero consists of domes piled on top of each other with each half of the roof in lead and the other half in tiles. Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo. Museo delle Sinopie is the home to wonderful wall art pieces, safeguarding the few precious 14th and 15th century frescoes that survived the 2nd world war. The Triumph of Death is the most notable of these frescoes, with extensive restoration uncovering various sinopie (preliminary sketches).

The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa.

Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo.

The second day in Pisa

The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa. Its expansive green lawns offer an urban carpet where Europe’s most extraordinary Romanesque buildings concentrate in the form of Tower, Baptistry and Cathedral.

The marvelously restored 14th century building facing the river has a stunning dusty-blue façade. Its over-the-top modern interior decoration is the ideal milieu for the Foundation Cari Pisa’s collection of artwork. You will be able to see predominantly Pisan works stretching to as early as 14th century to date, as well as a variety of temporary exhibitions. The Battistero consists of domes piled on top of each other with each half of the roof in lead and the other half in tiles. Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo. Museo delle Sinopie is the home to wonderful wall art pieces, safeguarding the few precious 14th and 15th century frescoes that survived the 2nd world war. The Triumph of Death is the most notable of these frescoes, with extensive restoration uncovering various sinopie (preliminary sketches).

Your outlined schedule for the day should include the things you will do, places you will visit, where you will go shopping and how you will find juicy meals in the course of the day.The Second DayWhat other better place to start your tour than Torre di Pisa (Leaning Tower), one of the continent’s most famous towers? The tower started to be built in 1173 and yet was not finished until the course of 14th century. When they talk of the ‘leaning’ tower, it is in fact implied that the tower is leaning, literally. This was not meant to be the case when the building of the tower started. It was a mistake from the constructors and the construction was halted several times for periods of up to a century. Leaning had continued gradually but steadily and the tower lies at 5 degrees inclination from the intended straight one (about 4 metres aside). However, the continuous leaning was remedied by introduction of steel supports. The cylindrical tower is 54 metres tall, 294 steps, with 8 stories, six of which have open galleries. The experience of being at the top of this tower can only be compared to being on top of the world.Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) or Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) holds the major attractions of Pisa. Its expansive green lawns offer an urban carpet where Europe’s most extraordinary Romanesque buildings concentrate in the form of Tower, Baptistry and Cathedral.

You will be able to see predominantly Pisan works stretching to as early as 14th century to date, as well as a variety of temporary exhibitions. The Battistero consists of domes piled on top of each other with each half of the roof in lead and the other half in tiles. Although its construction began in 1152, it was notably remodeled by Giovanni Pisano and Nicola over a century later. Its hybrid architectural style can be attributed to the fact that it was completed in the 14th century. The interior is indisputably highlighted by the striking hexagonal pulpit which was carved by Pisano himself. He used great classical models to endorse biblical scenes. For instance, you will see the figure of Daniel supporting a corner of the pulpit, modeled on a statue of Hercules. It is among the earliest heroic nude arts in Italian history, frequently cited as the beginning of a style that would attain perfection via the figure of David by Michelangelo. Museo delle Sinopie is the home to wonderful wall art pieces, safeguarding the few precious 14th and 15th century frescoes that survived the 2nd world war. The Triumph of Death is the most notable of these frescoes, with extensive restoration uncovering various sinopie (preliminary sketches).
