Discover Pisa through its art and history
Walking tour to discover the ancient Maritime Republic and its monuments
Pisa was established as a Maritime Republic in the year 1000, and the symbol of the city was built at the height of its power: Piazza dei Miracoli, so named because its beauty is truly miraculous. Alongside an expert guide, visit the square to discover the Romanesque cathedral, the iconic Leaning Tower, the round Baptistery surrounded by arcades, and the Monumental Cemetery, with a cloister housing 14th-century frescoes. Continue your walk towards the Church of San Sisto, one of the oldest in Pisa, and Piazza dei Cavalieri, the city's political hub in the mediaeval period. In the square, admire the Scuola Normale, one of the most famous universities in the world. Then head over to Piazza Arcivescovado, with the imposing Archbishop's Palace. Finish at the foot of the tower: climb its 294 spiral steps to enjoy a truly unforgettable experience.
