Explore Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli
Pisa, Italy
Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli is most rewarding when the tower becomes one part of a larger architectural encounter. The cathedral, baptistery and cemetery reveal the city’s former wealth and its connections across the Mediterranean, while the open lawns give the buildings room to be seen together. Spend time inside the cathedral with its sculpted pulpit and contrasting materials. A tower climb can add another perspective, but the ensemble has substance even without that familiar experience.
