The construction of this masterpiece in the Pisan Romanesque “style” in white and colored marbles began in 1063 under the direction of architect Buschetto. The end of the work and, above all, the completion of the façade took place in 1118, under the supervision of Rainaldo. The basilica has a Latin cross plan, with five naves, the transept and apse. The high number of materials, architectural elements and Roman inscriptions characterizes the outside of the walls, made with marble of different origins.

The bronze doors of the façade were made by various Florentine artists in the 17^th century, while the Porta di San Ranieri, at the back (opposite the Belfry) was cast in 1180 by Bonanno Pisano, and is the only part that escaped the fire that occurred 1595. Inside, the ceiling is decorated with mosaics depicting Christ on the Throne. The valuable pulpit is the work of Giovanni Pisano (14^th century).

Dedicated to St. John the Baptist, it is placed in front of the façade of the Duomo. The building was begun in 1152, under the direction of Diotisalvi, but it was finished, in part, only a century later, under the leadership of Nicola Pisano. After a long break, work resumed in the 14^th century with the crowning of the women’s gallery and the completion of the roof, with Gothic decoration, under the direction of Cellino Nave and Zimbelino Bolognese.

The building has a circular plan and, over the last marble facing end, the cupola rests. On the top, there is a gilded copper statue of St. John, followed in 1395 by Turino di Sano Siena. The portal facing the cathedral was decorated circa 1203-1204 by sculptors of Greek-Byzantine training. Inside, there are the precious baptismal font and the pulpit, sculpted by Nicola Pisano (13^th century). It is the largest baptistery in Italy: its circumference measures 107.25 meters. The building has exceptional acoustics and, echo effect is played every 30 minutes by the service staff.

The church and the adjoining monastery date back to 1016. The complex was entrusted to the Camaldolese monks in the 10^th century and remained in their possession until 1782, the year of the abolition of congregations. The current building is the result of a long series of renovations, which began in the 13^th century and ended with the subsequent restructuring of the earthquake of 1846. The marble façade dates back to the 14^th century and is characterized, at the bottom, three portals.

Inside, there is a crucifix of the 14^th century, attributed to Nino Pisano, and the frescoes and paintings between the 13^th and 18^th century.

Documented as existing in 1032, the church and the adjoining monastery were entrusted to the monks Vallombrosa around the years 1090-1092. In 1565, it became property of the Order of St. Stephen, under the patronage of the Grifoni family. The church and the whole complex was the subject of restoration in the mid-18^th century. Inside, there is a Roman sarcophagus containing the remains of the Pisan jurist Burgundio (1194) and a Madonna and Child with Saints Turino Vanni (14^th century). Annexed to the main building is the Chapel of Sant’Agata, octagonal brick building of the 12^th century that has an unusual pyramidal roof.

Lupo di Francesco built the church in 1323 on the remains of a pre-existing chapel of the 13^th century, on the left bank of the Arno River, just above the water level. Despite its small size, the Church is unanimously considered one of the masterpieces of Italian Gothic style. Legend has it that the name comes from a thorn from Christ’s crown, which is supposed to be kept inside the Church. From its windows, the bishop of the republican Pisa blessed the fleet departing for an important military and trade mission.

In order to protect it from flooding, in the 19^th century, a unique intervention was put forth: all the stones were numbered and then removed one by one. So the church was rebuilt on the level of the current street.

Locality:  San Piero a Grado
Type: medieval basilica (7^th-11^th century)

Legend has it that in the year 44 B.C., Saint Peter landed here, thus hinting that Pisa was once on the coast. Obviously, in medieval times, Pisa had a port built on the natural basin of the Arno River. And it was here that, between 10^th and 11^th century, the Basilica of Saint Peter the Apostle was built. It was originally in Pisan Romanesque style, with black and white stones. It presents the singularity of four apses and ornaments with majolica bowls.

In fact, the basilica incorporates facilities of two earlier churches, the first of the 4^th century (the main apse), the other of the Lombard era, dating back to the 6^th-7^th centuries. During the restoration of the church, structures of the Roman Era have come up to the surface, built when the ground level was considerably lower. The interior walls were decorated with frescoes by Deodato Orlandi in the 14^th century, but the neglect of past centuries has brought great damage to the basilica.

It was built following a design by Vasari in the second half of the 16^th century. Inside are paintings by Agnolo Bronzino, Jacopo Chimenti, Alessandro Fei, Jacopo Ligozzi and Vasari himself. Originally, the two aisles were used as changing rooms of the Knights of Saint Stephen, officially established in 1562. The church contains numerous trophies won during the Knights fleet campaigns against the Ottoman Empire and the Barbary pirates.

It is considered one of the wonders of the world for its unique aspect and rich decorations. It is a Romanesque bell tower, 56 meters high, detached from the body of the Cathedral. Construction began in 1173 under the direction of Bonanno Pisano, but the works were interrupted due to an unexpected event. The land on which the base of the tower rested turned out to be unstable and caused the incline of the structure when the third floor was completed. This event and the certainty that the solidity of the ground was below expectations blocked the work for a century.

Construction resumed in 1275 under the guidance of the architects Giovanni di Simone and Giovanni Pisano, and three rings were added. In an attempt to compensate for the inclination and keep the center of gravity within safe limits, three new floors were built with a slight curvature in the opposite direction to the slope. The tower was completed in the middle of the next century with the addition of the belfry, where they were hinged seven bells, each tuned to a different musical note.

The older one called “Pasquereccia,” is also known because it was used to announce the death of Count Ugolino della Gherardesca. The structure of the monument is of particular importance because it consists of two cylinders, one inside the other. In the gap between the two, a spiral staircase connects one level to another. The tower is also significant because this is where Galileo Galilei performed experiments on gravitation of bodies.

The inclination progressed slowly but surely in the following centuries, reaching a value of 5°30’ to the vertical axis. Although there had never been serious problems of balance of the entire structure, the inclination reached was now considered intolerable, and the bell tower was closed to the public between 1999 and 2001.

In 1994, consolidation of basic work started (anchor), but the most difficult step was to place a counterweight inside that balanced tilt. The work was completed in 2009 and, to date, the slope has decreased by 30’ on the maximum value reached.

Designed by Giovanni di Simone it is structured in the form of a cemetery cloister, construction began in 1277. It is thus the last of the monumental buildings completed in the Piazza dei Miracoli. The sprawling complex was designed for a very specific purpose: to create an adequate space in which to collect the coffins and the various tombs that, for centuries, crowded the area around the cathedral. The land inside the courtyard is a sort of relic and it was collected from Mount Golgotha (Jerusalem) at the time of the Crusades and transported by sea to Pisa. From this event comes the original name “camposanto” (holy field).

The main entrance is a door facing east, dominated by a Gothic tabernacle with statues of the Virgin and Child with four saints, dating from the second half of the 14^th century. Inside there are numerous Roman sarcophagi reused for the burial of the city’s prominent figures. In 1360 began the frescoing of the corridors with depictions linked to the themes of life and death. Among the other artists who contributed to the painted decorations are Buonamico Buffalmacco and Francesco Traini, authors of the Triumph of Death and The Last Judgment.

The Aulla chapel houses the so-called “lamp of Galileo”, whose observation the scientist gave the cue to the theory of the pendulum. It also exposed a part of the great chain of Porto Pisano, which was broken and taken as a trophy by the fleet of Genoa, after the victorious battle of Meloria (1284).

Also known as the “Square of Miracles” for the exceptional concentration of monuments of great significance, it is the most important artistic set of Pisa. Listed among the UNESCO World Heritage Site, it contains true masterpieces of Romanesque architecture: the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Cemetery (or Camposanto) and Campanile (Leaning Tower). The so-called Pisan Romanesque “style” was born with the construction of the cathedral and quickly spread to the rest of Tuscany.

All religious buildings in the square follow a sort of mystical path: the Baptistery is birth, the Cathedral is life, and the Cemetery is death. In the square there are also the Cathedral Museum and the Museum of Sinopie.

Type: 17^th century building
Address: Piazza dei Cavalieri

Designed by Vasari in 1554, it was built in the early 17^th century, incorporating two pre-existing buildings through an arch with clock. The first was an ancient medieval building (1357) where the captain of the people lived. From 1566, it housed the infirmary of the Order of Santo Stefano. The other was the now infamous Torre della Muda where Count Ugolino della Gherardesca was imprisoned for treason along with some relatives.

After a period of detention, the protagonist of one of the most famous pages of Dante’s Divine Comedy (Inferno, canto 23^rd) was starved to death in 1289. In 1919, after the Order had been abolished, the building was purchased by Count Albert Gherardesca, who carried out a controversial restructuring in neo-Gothic style. The form of the Torre della Muda is still recognizable.

The walls took on its present appearance between 1154 and 1346: the walls had an average height of 11 meters and a thickness of 2 meters. The overall length was 7 km, 2 of which were, however, demolished in the course of various phases, the last of which occurred in 1930. Piazza delle Gondole was the arrival point of the Mediceo Aqueduct and Fosso dei Mulini coming respectively from Corliano and Ripafratta. The docking point of the gondolas that crossed the aqueduct is still visible.

On the square facing the Palazzo della Carovana (1562-64), the Church of Stefano dei Cavalieri (1565-69), the Palazzo della Canonica (1566), the Palace of the Council of the Twelve (1603), the Palace Puteano (1594-98), the Church of St. Rocco (1575), the Palazzo dell’Orologio (1605-8).

At the center of the square is the statue of Cosimo I (1596), by sculptor Pietro Francavilla.

Type: fortification (15^th century)
Address: Piazza Tersanaia – Lungarno Simonelli

It was an ancient fortification built just outside the city walls, in the direction of the sea. Adjacent stood the shipyards of the republic, exploited in the Medici era and of which some remains are left. At the time of the first administration of Florence (1406), the Arsenal structures were transformed permanently in what later was called “Old Citadel”, to distinguish it from the “New Citadel”. The name of the tower was chosen as opposed to the older Torre Ghibellina (Guelph Tower), built in 1290 on the corner of the South-West district and subsequently destroyed.

The tower also had a watchtower, being high enough to survey the sea and, at the same time, the whole city. In 1944, it was almost completely destroyed by bombing, but in 1956 it was rebuilt, trying to recover its original appearance. Today is open and it offers a splendid view of the city.

Type: 15^th-18^th century building
Address: Lungarno Simonelli

Grand Duke Cosimo I Medici had the idea of building an arsenal for the Tuscan fleet. The initiative was part of a larger project to restore the former glory of Pisa, lost after the surrender of the city to Florence. The institution of the Order of Santo Stefano was part of this initiative as well as the arsenal built by the architect Bernardo Buontalenti. Already functioning around 1540, shipyard Medici I launched, just six years later, the first jail built entirely by local workers.

The competition with Livorno and Portoferraio and a changed maritime policy led to a slow but inevitable decline until, in the mid-18^th century the premises were transformed into stables for the cavalry. Currently, permanent exhibitions with important archaeological finds of the territory of Pisa are shown: boat wrecks and furnishings of the ancient Etruscan and Roman port area (5^th century B.C. – 5^th century A.D.).

It is an archaeological site located at Porta a Lucca, not far from the Piazza dei Miracoli. The most important part consists of a Roman thermal building, dating back to the last decades of the 1^st century A.D. The Aquae Pisanae was fed from the aqueduct from Caldaccoli (municipality of San Giuliano Terme). Before falling into disuse, they were improperly called “Nerone.”

The baths were restored in the 16^th and 17^th century by the Grand Duke Cosimo III Medici, becoming the “Bagni di Pisa.” Well preserved is the sudatio laconicum (room for hot air bath), consisting of an octagonal room. There remain the ruins of the gymnasium walls, the apodyterium and only two walls of the tepidarium. The building was to be characterized by a certain monumentality, judging by the marble and sculptures, which decorated it.

Created by the Grand Duke Cosimo I Medici and at the initiative of the master Luca Ghini, the Giardino dei Semplici is the oldest botanical garden in the world. It is a place of study and recreation and houses a wide variety of plants, living or dried, useful for scientific research. Inside there is also the Botanical Museum. In the first half of the 18^th century the façade of the building was restored and embellished with a whimsical fantasy of shells and corals. The structure still continues its scientific work and continues to enrich the collections of plants.

Locality: Marina di Pisa
Type: beach town
Blue Flag

As the name indicates, it is a seaside resort located immediately south of the mouth of the Arno River. Until 1606 the area was marshy and unhealthy. It was the Grand Duke Ferdinando I Medici who decided to move the mouth of the Arno a little further north. At the completion of the work on the left bank a hexagonal building surrounded by a moat, called “the Fort”, was built with customs duties for river traffic.

The official founding of the town dates back to 1872 when the Municipality of Pisa developed a master plan, also preparing the construction of a large access route to the city. In this point in time – the inhabited center was called Bocca d’Arno – the first guesthouse was opened, along with restaurants and beach clubs.

 

At the same time, several Art Nouveau villas of Florentine families were built, including Villa Bondi, later included in the “Historic Houses of Italy.” The former industrial area, located at the mouth of the Arno, was completely redeveloped by the construction of a marina. During summer the town is a favorite destination for tourists: along the coast there are both free beaches, as well as several bathing establishments.

Area: Pisana
Locality: Tirrenia
Type: beach town

The town was founded in the 1930s. The area, which had been marshy, was reclaimed and redeveloped with the aim of making the town the “Pearl of the Mediterranean” and the film capital of Italy. Architects from all over Italy, including Adolfo Coppedè, Federico Severini and Antonio Valente, gave the village a typical rationalist imprint. In order to promote the fascist ideology and political propaganda, the first film studios in Italy were built, replaced after 1937 by the first studios of Cinecittà in Rome.

In 1961, producer Carlo Ponti took note of the structures. The last film shot in the Tirrenia studios was “Good Morning, Babylon” (1987). On land expropriated in part to the “Tirrenia Farm” in 1951, the military base of Camp Darby was established, the largest US logistics center abroad. The town has retained the resort hotel, with several well-equipped bathing establishments, which every year attract a flow of tourists. Of particular importance is the Parco Oasi Dune di Tirrenia, one of the last Italian dune areas with protected plant species.

The center was officially opened in 1911 in the presence of King Vittorio Emanuele III with a transmission to Glace Bay (Nova Scotia). To better accommodate the radio station, the “Palazzina Marconi” was built containing all of the antennas and controls developed by Marconi.

In 1931 the radio signal that the turned on the lights on the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro was sent from here. The radio station and the antennas were destroyed at the end of World War II and, currently, the building is abandoned.

The museum is housed in the Spedale Nuovo, built in the middle of the 13th century as a shelter for the sick and poor. During the Second World War, a grenade hit the roof of the “Camposanto”, setting it on fire and causing the melting of the lead cover, which dripped on the frescoes of the interior walls. The only remedy then considered possible for the conservation of the paintings was using the technique of “tear”: this operation led to the discovery of “sinopie” (preparatory drawings made on the walls before the painting). Among the most important of the Stories of Job by Taddeo Gaddi, the stories of S. Ranieri by Andrea Bonaiuti and the stories from the Old Testament by Benozzo Gozzoli.

The museum is housed in the Palazzo Lanfranchi, name of an ancient Pisan consular aristocracy, who renovated and inhabited it in 1539. The building contains an important insight of medieval Pisa: it is the result of the merger of seven tower houses built between the 13^th and the mid-14^th century. The last transformation of the complex took place in the 19^th century with the demolition of the stairs and the creation of a single stairwell lit by a large skylight. Currently, it houses the Graphics Museum, one of the most important collections of engravings, prints and graphic works in general.

According to the most widespread legend, Pisa was founded by the original peoples of a Greek city also known as Pisa. In the 1980s and 1990s, some important archaeological finds confirmed definitively the Etruscan origins of the city. In 180 B.C. Pisa became the Roman colony Julia Obsequens, which provided them with greater political autonomy. With the gradual weakening of the Roman Empire, the city did not experience the decline of many other graces. Moreover, already in the early Middle Ages, the fleet had reached a considerable size.

At the beginning of the 7^th century, it was the only Byzantine outpost of Tuscia (coinciding with the current Tuscany and the northern part of today’s Lazio) conquered by the Lombards. It then began the growth of, what at the time, was the most important port of the Tyrrhenian and core businesses. When, with Charlemagne, the domination of the Franks across northern Italy was consolidated, the city was annexed to the county-duchy of Lucca.

The Arab expansion pushed Pisa to set up an armed fleet as early as the 9^th century to counter the continual and bloody raids of the Saracen pirates. Over the next three centuries, Pisa became a major naval power of the Mediterranean and ships, originally intended for military roles, also transformed into formidable business expansion tools.

 

Certainly, the most successful campaigns against the Arabs were the conquest of Corsica (1052) and of the Balearic archipelago (1115). The maximum growth of economic and political power, however, occurred mainly during the Crusades, with territorial gains and obtaining commercial rights in the eastern part of the Mediterranean. In 1088 the first armed confrontation with Genoa took place, an event that triggered a growing competition between the two cities in the next two centuries.

In the mid-12^th century, Pisa began its territorial expansion, particularly in the direction of Valle d’Era (Era), down the Arno River and to the south, in the direction of Piombino. At the same time, a growing rivalry with Lucca for control of the castle of Montignoso and the via Francigena (or Romea) began. But, at sea, Pisa’s main opponent was Genova. The result was an inevitable war, and hostilities continued until 1175.

The status of “non-belligerence” with Genova was still dotted with skirmishes and paved the way to a broader military confrontation. This time, Pisa suffered a bloody defeat at the islet Meloria (1284). This disaster, coupled with the devastation of the port (1290) due to non-respected agreements with Genova, gave a huge blow to the republic. Within Tuscany, the equally rapid growth of Florence had already caused skirmishes in mutual influence. In the second half of the 14^th century, Pisa stopped hesitating and attacked the territory of the rival without being able to conquer it or otherwise defeat. Then, in a single decisive battle of Cascina, Florence defeated Pisa.

This was the beginning of a slow decline, punctuated by controversial political events as well as numerous internal disputes, some of which were civil wars. After a long siege, the army of Florence managed to seize the town (1406), this time with fraud: 50,000 guilders convinced the commander Giovanni Pisano Gambacorta to open one of the city gates and give access to enemy troops. The domination of Florence was very severe: a heavy tax hit all social classes, including a series of highly penalized merchants and guilds. In this period, the occupants still proceeded with the reconstruction of the Citadel (military defense complex) and other fortifications.

In 1494 a rebellion broke out, which was followed by years of alternating leaders, and the presence of external militias, without the city regained full independence. At the beginning of the 16^th century, the army of Florence returned once again under the walls of Pisa. Since the fortifications had been rendered virtually impregnable (even by Florentines!), the attackers blocked all influx of provisions and put the Arno under surveillance. The lack of food and water overcame all resistance and, in 1509, Pisa surrendered. This time the conditions were milder.

The availability of a landlocked need for businesses in Florence, however, allowed Pisa to obtain, already in the period of the Medici dominion, works of maintenance of the land and the construction of various public buildings. But what determined the definitive decline of the city, was the relentless and progressive silting of the harbor, caused by debris transported from the Arno. From 1553 onwards – the Medici were already at the helm of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany – Pisa experienced the renewed awakening of trade and industrial activities. Its importance was increased by the presence of the renowned University of Studies. The city then followed all the historical events of the Grand Duchy until the Unification of Italy.

World War II had harsh consequences. In 1943 a heavy bombardment, which had hit the rail junction and industrial machinery, had disastrous effects on residential areas and caused many casualties. Fortunately, much of the artistic heritage had been prudently moved to Florence. The reconstruction work took several decades to complete.

The Palazzo dell’Orologio incorporates the ancient Tower of Muda, where in 1289 Count Ugolino della Gherardesca was imprisoned, accused of executing the nephew of the Archbishop of Ugolino was sentenced to death with his family. The archbishop gave the order to let the five prisoners starve to death. But the legacy of the family continued however because Ugolino, who knew he would be imprisoned, replaced one of his children with that of a servant.

The poet Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy tells in detail about the slow death and suffering of the family. According to Dante, Ugolino’s children begged him to eat their flesh. Hence why Ugolino is remembered in history as the “Count Cannibal” (although according to scientific data it is not true). The building where Ugolino lived was demolished after his death, and on the ground of his property salt was poured and a decree was issued banning all construction in the area.

The artistic Camposanto in Piazza del Duomo is also called “Holy Field” thanks to the archbishop Lanfranchi who brought home dirt from Palestine (Jerusalem) during a crusade, which was scattered in the cemetery. Hence the phrase “What holier field than Pisa Camposanto?”

Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa. He is the famous scientist who was forced to recant his findings on the rotation of the earth, because it was inconsistent with the tenets of the Church. Inside the Cathedral of Pisa there is the lamp that inspired Galileo in his studies on the isochronous pendulum motion.

In Pisa several famous people of science and art were born. First of all, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), Italian physicist, philosopher, astronomer and mathematician. One of the fathers of modern science, starting from the Copernican conception, whoe brought significant developments to the blossoming astronomy. Noteworthy are Leonardo Fibonacci (1170-1250), mathematician, and Antonio Pacinotti (1841-1912), physicist. Finally, Alessandro della Spina, a Dominican friar, considered the inventor of spectacles. In addition, many artists have studied and lived in Pisa, such as Giunta Pisano, innovator of Italian painting in the mid-13^th century.

Other historical figures to remember are the noble Ugolino della Gherardesca (1220-1290), political Ghibelline and naval commander, Pope Eugene III (1153) and Pope Gregory VIII (1100-1187), who died in Pisa and was buried in the Cathedral.

Pisa has often been used by Italian and foreign filmmakers to shoot their films. Among those who were most successful, you may remember: “Medea” by Pier Paolo Pasolini (1969), “Padre Padrone” by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani (1977), “My Friends – Act II” by Mario Monicelli (1982), “Good Morning Babylon “by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani (1988),” the English Patient “by Anthony Minghella (1997),” Amber City “by Jem Cohen (1999),” the first on the list “of Roan Johnson (2011).
