Duomo di Pisa

Founded in 1064 and consecrated with great pomp on September 26th 1118, the Cathedral was built in two stages, one by architect Buscheto, who created the original layout with the basilican body with four aisles and one nave, a transept with one nave and two aisles, and the dome on the cross vault, and one by Rainaldo, who extended the building and the façade. The building was not finally completed until the last quarter of the XII century, when Bonannoís bronze leaves were placed on the central door, which were later destroyed by the devastating fire of 1595, after which many of the destroyed works were replaced and a vast decorative plan was started.

the complete name of the Duomo di Pisa is Primatial Metropolitan Cathedral of the Assumtion of Mary ; construction began in 1063 and ended in 1092 and this monumental cathedral is built in Pisan Romanesque style rivaling with Saint Mark’s Cathedral in Venice ; the cathedral lies right across the leaning tower of Pisa and is the siege of the Archbishop of Pisa ; it is monumental,impressive ,a feat for the eye ;

Basilica romanica di San Piero a Grado

Reviewed By maximdomasev - St. Petersburg, Russia

This is a real gem that you cannot miss to visit. Even after all that we managed to see in Florence, Lucca and Pisa this church impresses you much as it is a fine and very well preserved example of authentic Romanesque architecture. It breathes with history, also given the fact that, according to the legend, the church was built on the place where apostle Peter supposedly entered Pisa port (that was located here at this time) on his way from Antiochia. Better come here in the morning, when there are no people here, weather is not hot and the sun is low, allowing you to make beautiful detailed photographs of the church facade and stonework. If you are familiar with the history of Medieval Art and architecture this is the absolutely necessary place to visit. Only beware, that information that states that the church opens 8 a.m. is not correct, on our visit there 11th August 2018 the open time was 9 a.m. The journey can be combined with journey to Pisa if you are inhabiting the coastal area using the regular 90-minutes bus ticket (you exist the bus on the stop near the church, see the church and enter the following bus, your ticket still valid).
