Pisa, Italy

Pisa Italy

The city of Pisa once competed with Genoa and Venice as a naval power, mirrored Padua and Perugia as a university city, and developed a unique style of Romanesque architecture. Today, the city is famous for an architectural project that went horribly wrong and depends on the influx of tourists who visit the city daily. The most significant monuments are located in the Piazza del Duomo. The baptistery, cathedral, Leaning Tower, and Camposanto stand out like carved ivory, emerging from a wide expanse of bright green grass. The cathedral houses Giovanni Pisano's masterful pulpit, with its intensely dramatic Gothic reliefs. You can make your unsteady way to the top of the Torre Pendente, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, from which local resident Galileo Galilei dropped various objects in his quest to understand gravity. Education has driven the local economy since the 1400s, and students from all over Italy still compete for spots in its prestigious university and research schools and help maintain a lively and affordable cafe and bar scene. This metropolis of a hundred thousand residents is much more than a tower; it's a city rich in art and history.
