What to do in Province of Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of Europe’s most famous buildings. It attracts millions of visitors a year from all over the world. The Leaning Tower is the freestanding Romanesque campanile (bell tower) of the cathedral, called the Duomo. The tower and Duomo are in the Piazza dei Miracoli. The history and architecture of the tower are fascinating, however, most people visit the iconic building to observe and photograph its strange sideways lean.

With spacious manicured lawns, surrounding ancient walls, one of Europe’s most renowned towers and an impressive collection of medieval art, the Piazza dei Miracoli is home to some of Italy’s most popular attractions. Take a camera and climb the Leaning Tower. Then, see the cathedral and walk through the cloisters and cemetery.

The Cathedral of Pisa (Duomo di Pisa) is one of the most iconic buildings in Italy, alongside the Leaning Tower. It is the central structure of Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli and continues to be an active church.

The Pisa Baptistry is an impressive example of the blend of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. It was constructed between 1152 and 1363, with each level built in a different style. This is the largest baptistry in Italy and the second-oldest building in Pisa’s renowned Piazza dei Miracoli.

From the outside, the unadorned, earthy-colored stone façade of the Duomo di Volterra does not predict the exceptional interior you will find as you walk through its doors. Illuminated by natural light and filled with colorful paintings, it is truly a sight to remember. Tour the artwork on your own. Get a picture of the Romanesque exterior built from materials recovered from the Roman theater of Volterra.

The white marble façade and ornate Gothic edifices of Santa Maria della Spina make it one of the most striking churches in Italy. Although the church is small, it impresses with its beauty. Sitting on the River Arno, this tiny church attracts visitors from all over the world.
