Review:
Pisa is best known for its famed Leaning Tower bell tower, constructed in 1372, which is considered one of the great wonders of the modern world.
The city is located within Tuscany’s central region near the Arno and the Ligurian Sea and serves as the capital city of its eponymous province, home to more than 91,000 residents. Other important architectural sites within the city include more than 20 historic churches, as well as the scenic Square of Miracles, the Baptistry, and the Caposanto Monumentale cemetery. The city is the home of the historic University of Pisa and is noted for its unique cecina chickpea flour bread, which is also prepared as schiacciatina flatbread. In June, a number of events celebrate the city’s patron saint San Rainieri, including the Regatta of San Ranieri and the Luminara.
