Pisa vaunts thousands of years of history (the city’s name dates back to the Etruscan age and alludes to the “mouth” of the Arno), reaching a peak during the age of the Maritime Republic, a period that turned the city center into a treasure chest of artistic gems. Among these, the Romanesque and Gothic churches stand out, in squares and palazzi that enhance the neighborhoods marked by lungarni (riverside streets) and age-old roads. Wandering through the centre also offers an education in famous university campuses, whose importance has remained steady through the centuries.

Pisa
The square of the Cathedral of Pisa represents the best example of the Pisa Romanesque style through its magnificence and perfection, a harmonious fusion of classical, early Christian, Lombard and eastern motifs.
The buildings maintain a stylish unity.
The Cathedral, the Tower, the Baptistery and the Camposanto represent together the allegory of human life.
The Sinopie Museum hosts the big preparatory drawings recovered beneath the frescoes decorating the Camposanto and the Opera del Duomo Museum shows the development of Pisa art and the great Middle Ages sculpture with a new and evocative museum path.
