Pisa
One of the most important art towns of Tuscany and Italy owing to
its monumental, artistic and historical value (in the Middle Ages it
was one of the four great Marine Republics), Pisa is an enchanting
town with a human dimension, and a pole of ancient cultural
tradition.
Founded by the Ligurians and later inhabited by the Etruscans, Pisa
was raised to the status of a city by the Romans, to whom the
ancient part of the town owes the chequered layout of its urban
plan. In the early Middle Ages, the town thrived and became an
important commercial crossroads and a powerful Marine Republic.
Pisa’s glorious and complex heritage offers its visitors bright
lungarnos, tightly woven renaissance palazzos, a web of narrow
medieval alleys and the green Piazza dei Miracoli, the site of the
four Pisan Romanesque masterpieces: the Cathedral, the Baptistery,
the campanile of the church, renown worldwide as the Leaning Tower,
and the Monumental Cemetery. |
