Route Overview
The tour begins at one of the most celebrated medieval squares in the world. The Piazza houses the Leaning Tower, the Duomo, and several other UNESCO-listed structures within a single walled precinct.
On the northern edge of the Piazza, the walled Camposanto cemetery is regarded by many as the finest of its kind anywhere. Directly opposite the Duomo's western facade stands the Baptistery, dedicated to John the Baptist and notable for its remarkable acoustics.
During the Middle Ages, this square functioned as the political center of the Republic of Pisa. The Palazzo dell'Orologio, a medieval building whose belfry once marked study hours for the nearby university, stands on its edge.
The lively Supply Square has served as a market hub for centuries and remains one of the city's most characterful open spaces. Nearby, the Logge dei Banchi was commissioned by Grand Duke Ferdinando I de' Medici between 1603 and 1605 to house the wool, silk, and exchange markets.
The botanical garden associated with the Universita di Pisa offers a quiet contrast to the historic stone streets. The Porta di Santa Marta, constructed during the Florentine occupation in the mid-15th century, marks a significant chapter in the city's shifting political fortunes.
This compact Gothic church on the south bank of the Arno once held a thorn said to be from the crown of Jesus, giving the building its distinctive name. The Parlascio Gate was one of the two principal entrances through which the most prominent figures of the medieval city passed.
