Top 10 Historic Sites in Pisa, Tuscany

April 6, 2022 Augustus Redeker

Go ahead and take that photo of yourself with a tilted hand "holding up" the Tower of Pisa. We won't tell; your rep as a sophisticated traveler will remain unblemished. Now that you've gotten that out of the way, climb the tower's 300 steps for a tilted view, or visit the National Museum of San Matteo and the Camposanto cemetery.

Chiesa di Santa Maria della Spina

Located on the bank of the Arno River, this church is Pisa's finest example of Gothic fancy.

Reviewed By edm0ndmarcd - Iroquois, Canada

This beautiful Pisan gothic church, which reportedly had one of the thorns of Jesus crown, was moved from a lower level by the river to its current location, just overlooking the river. At sunset, the sunlight enters through the coloured glass windows for a truly magnificent effect.

Camposanto

The Cemetery is the last monument on Piazza del Duomo, its long marble wall flanking the northern boundary and completing its shape. It was founded in 1277.

This was part of our combo ticket for the Field of Miracles. It was worth it. Wonderful frescos inside, that are still being restored from WW II damage. This is a cemetery building, but also full of art. Get this on your combo ticket! It is amazingly quiet after the hustle and bustle of the outside.

Battistero di San Giovanni

The Baptistery of San Giovanni was founded on 15 August 1152. It is here that the Sacrament of Baptism is administered and the Christian embarks upon the path of Faith. The reason that such a fascinating and enigmatic building was constructed was certainly the wish to endow the cathedral with a worthy adjunct: a Baptistery that, in terms of position, size, materials and style, would be in harmony with the majestic building that already stood opposite.

Reviewed By albinaepaolo - Milan, Italy

It seems to be more attractive outside than inside, but it is enough just to go beyond the surface and you will notice some peculiarities that do not appear: the echo produced by a simple monotonous sound in the center; the contrast between the large baptismal font and the small statue of San Giovanni; the pulpit which although is massive, appears small to those who enter.

Cimitero Ebraico

Jewish Cemetery in Piazza dei Miracoli, visible from the top of the Ancient Walls, is characterized by a variety of architectural styles. Active since 1674 and still in use today, it was preceded by other Jewish Cemeteries, testified by epigraphic traces on the Walls. It reflects four centuries of Pisan Jewish settlement, including stories of Jewish victims of Nazi-fascist persecutions
