What is good to know if travelling to Pisa?

• The Cathedral of Pisa is located near the Leaning Tower in the Cathedral Square, which is also known as the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles). Construction of the cathedral began in 1064 and it is a pre-eminent example of Pisan Romanesque architecture.
• The famed Leaning Tower in Piazza del Duomo isn’t Pisa’s only historic building at a slant: the bell towers of San Nicola Church and the Church of San Michele of Scalzi do not stand entirely upright either. Pisa’s most famous slanted tower leans due to its insufficient foundation as well as the weakness of subsoil beneath, and the San Michele tower owes its tilt to subsidence, whereas the base of San Nicola’s octagonal bell tower is actually located under the modern day streets.
• The Luminara of San Ranieri festival, dedicated to the city’s patron saint, should not be missed if visiting in June. Every year on the evening of the 16 June (San Ranieri’s Eve), riverside buildings are decorated with candles, whose glowing reflections flicker pleasantly on the surface of the Arno. The evening concludes with a midnight firework display over the citadel and nearby bridge.
• Pisa’s Botanical Gardens, belonging to the University of Pisa, is said to be one of the oldest of its kind in Europe. It was established in 1544 by Cosimo de Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany and is today open to the public, with free entry on weekday mornings.
• Pisa’s Romanesque Baptistery, dedicated to St John the Baptist, dates back to the 12^th century and is the largest baptistery in Italy, with a circumference of a little over 107 metres. The building, made entirely from marble, is notable for its stunning Gothic ornamentation.
