This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to four architectural masterpieces: the iconic Leaning Tower, the grand Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the circular Baptistery, and the Monumental Cemetery. Surrounded by green lawns, the square offers a striking contrast between the white marble buildings and the vibrant Tuscan sky.

Stop 2

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. Built as the bell tower of the Cathedral of Pisa, its famous tilt began during construction in the 12th century due to unstable ground. Despite this flaw, the tower stands as a symbol of architectural resilience and ingenuity. Climbing its 294 spiral steps offers visitors a unique experience and panoramic views over the city and Piazza dei Miracoli. With its stunning Romanesque design, white marble façade, and fascinating history, the Leaning Tower is a must-see destination that continues to captivate millions of travelers every year.

Stop 3

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is the stunning heart of Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli. A masterpiece of Romanesque architecture, it was begun in the 11th century and reflects the city’s former maritime power. Its white-and-grey marble façade, rich bronze doors, and intricate mosaics are awe-inspiring. Inside, you’ll find soaring columns, a majestic dome, and remarkable works of art, including the pulpit by Giovanni Pisano. The cathedral is not only a spiritual center but also a treasure trove of medieval artistry and religious history, making it an essential stop for anyone visiting Pisa.

Stop 4

Piazza dei Cavalieri is one of Pisa’s most elegant and historic squares, a place that has been at the heart of the city’s life for centuries. Once the medieval political center, it was redesigned in the 16th century by Giorgio Vasari for Cosimo I de’ Medici, who made it the headquarters of the Order of the Knights of St. Stephen. The square is dominated by the Palazzo della Carovana, with its richly decorated façade, and the statue of Cosimo I, symbol of Medici power. Around it stand other remarkable buildings such as the Palazzo dell’Orologio, linked to the legend of Count Ugolino, and the Church of Santo Stefano dei Cavalieri, adorned with banners and treasures recalling Pisa’s naval victories. Today, the square is home to the prestigious Scuola Normale Superiore, continuing its legacy as a place of knowledge and culture. With its blend of history, art, and atmosphere, Piazza dei Cavalieri is a must-see gem in Pisa.
