Pisa

Once a maritime power to rival Genoa and Venice, modern Pisa is best known for an architectural project gone terribly wrong. But the world-famous Leaning Tower is just one of many noteworthy sights in this compelling city. Education has fuelled the local economy since the 1400s, and students from across Italy compete for places in its elite university. This endows the centre of town with a vibrant cafe and bar scene, balancing an enviable portfolio of well-maintained Romanesque buildings, Gothic churches and Renaissance piazzas with a lively street life dominated by locals rather than tourists – a charm you will definitely not discover if you restrict your visit to Piazza dei Miracoli.
Tower of Pisa
Vibrant and animated by the great history exuding from its walls, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the city's symbol and the most famous Italian monument in the world, immediately springs to mind. Along with the cathedral and the baptistery, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is part of a complex of works that Gabriele D'Annunzio dubbed "Miracles", hence the name Piazza dei Miracoli, which perfectly defines the place that houses them.
It dominates Piazza del Duomo, and its distinctive slope is due to ground subsidence in the early stages of construction (between the 12th and 14th centuries). The top floors were built curving in the opposite direction to the slope in an attempt to straighten it out a little.
