Everyone knows that Pisa has a tower and that the tower leans. This spectacular tower is located in Piazza dei Miracoli, one of the most beautiful squares in Italy. After taking one of those funny "stereotypical" tourist photos, climb to the top of the belltower. The stairway is made of almost 300 marble stairs but the view is worth the effort. From the very top of the tower it’s possible to admire a breathtaking view over the city, the Arno river, surrounding mountains and far in the distance, the sea is visible on sunny days.Everyone comes here to see the tower, but Piazza dei Miracoli is also home to one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Italy, the Duomo of Santa Maria dell’Assunta. This church is an excellent example of Roman-Pisan Gothic architecture and is completely made of white marble. The contrast of colors between the white façade of the Duomo and the surrounding green grass is simply spectacular.

1Piazza dei Miracoli
Pisa was born as an Etruscan port, around the middle of the VI century. Etruscans called the city Pise and developed the economy of the country through the production arts and crafts. The city had a strategic position, being close to river Arno and the sea. The Piazza del Duomo ("Cathedral Square"), known with this name in the past, is also called Piazza dei Miracoli ("Square of Miracles"). This name was created by the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, who by observing it from above on a plane, called it "Prato dei Miracoli" (Meadow of Miracles), because of the beauty of the marble monuments, which looms within the surrounding green garden. The square lies at a Northern area of the city, that once was a graveyard and the place of an Early Christian cathedral. Differently from other cities, Pisa's Cathedral Square is not inside the walls nor in the old town. The Duomo was the first monument to be built, followed by the construction of the Baptistery and of the Leaning Tower (the famous Pisa's Tower). Two sides of the square (which represent the Northern and Western parts) are included in the walls that dating back to 1154.
