Pisa

The Arno defines the setting of Pisa — its low-lying course has long connected the city with inland Tuscany and the Tyrrhenian coast. Pisa was a powerful maritime republic in the Middle Ages, and the Piazza del Duomo preserves the scale of that era in an exceptional Romanesque ensemble. Its Leaning Tower, begun in 1173 as the cathedral’s bell tower, stands beside the cathedral and baptistery on the former northern edge of the city. Beyond this celebrated square, arcaded streets, university life and riverbanks give Pisa a more everyday rhythm.
