Pisa & Lucca
(105 km- 1:30 away)
The Leaning Tower…are you ready to climb 56 meter high and 296 steps? In Pisa the Square of Miracles (La Piazza dei Miracoli) really worths all your attantion with its Leaning Tower, the beautiful Baptistery, the Cathedral and the Monumental Cemetery (representing the cycle of life).The Cathedral, belonging to Pisan-Romanesque architecture, shows a stunning white-and-grey marble façade. The interiors have been realized with white-and-black marbles instead. The popular bell tower leaning on one side. Do you know why? The ground, too soft underneath, does not support the tower’s weight!
The best wayt to start exploring Lucca is taking a nice 4 kilometers walk along the old city walls overlooking the town. The city of Lucca is reach in religious buildings il Duomo, St Michael Church and more. Carry on your visit with Piazza Dell’Anfiteatro, an oval square, where the actual buildings were built around the original Roman amphitheatre structure and the famous Torre Guinigi with the trees at the very top of the tower. In Lucca is also home to several annual music events and manifestations that always attract people from everywhere: Summer Festival in July.
