PISA ITALY
The city of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
by Jakob Jelling
Although it is world wide famous due to its Leaning
Tower, the city of Pisa also has many other great
attractions and amazing characteristics to offer.
Pisa is one of the most important historic Italian
areas and one of the most visited year around as
well. This city allows tourists to meet buildings which
conjugate many different époques and artistic
currents, such as, for example, Romanesque and
Gothic among many others.
Pisa is located towards the western area of
Tuscany, and its origins date from as long as 3.000
years ago. During that time, a settlement started
being built up at the seaside and gave origin to
what today is one of the most famous cities of the
world. This way, the historical richness of Pisa is
amazing due to its great amount of years and this
can be observed in the buildings which have
remained through the pass of time and which show
the different époques through which the city has
passed.
Another one of Pisa's main characteristics is its
university, established in the first years of 1340 and
world wide known due to its excellence. This way,
Pisa is a city which gives main importance to
knowledge, science and arts, being up to the date
with modern life as well as maintaining some of the
characteristics which gave it shape through the
pass of time.
LEANING TOWER OF PISA
The Leaning Tower is located in the northwest
area of Pisa, sharing one same area with other
important buildings. At this area, known as Campo
dei Miracoli, next to the famous Leaning Tower,
there are other three great and unique buildings:
the Camposanto or Holy Field; the amazing Duomo
or Cathedral of Pisa of 1000 years; and the
Baptistery or Battisterio of circular shape.
There are several other buildings and interesting
areas for visitors to meet in Pisa besides the
Campo dei Miracoli. Towards the south side of the
city, tourists can visit two interesting museums: the
Museo delle Sinopie and the Museo dell'Opera,
offering the chance to observe original paintings
and sculptures of famous artists from many
centuries ago.
