Visit Pisa
The 14th-century Romanesque Leaning Tower is of course Pisa’s main
attraction (it has 294 stairs) and really seems to overturn any moment. The
tower reopened in November 2001, and as of October 2003 tickets to climb the
tower were 15 Euros. A fortification project has made some progress in
stopping the increase in inclination and even managed to pull the tower back
a bit (40 centimetres). The Leaning Tower belongs to an ensemble of four
impressive buildings all located on "Campo dei Miracoli" (square of
miracles): the cathedral Santa Maria Assunta, the campanile (leaning tower
that was actually a bell tower), the baptistry (looks like a huge "baci"
chocolate, that is a delicious Italian candy) and the Camposanto cemetery.
Should time permit stop at Palazzo dei Cavalieri, walk down Via Santa
Maria towards the river banks of Arno, where the small Gothic chapel of
"Santa Maria della Spina" is located and the National Museum of San Matteo
(excellent collection of 12th-through 15th-century art).
