Pisa, once an important Republic of the Sea, is a decadent city filled with historic and architectural treasures that bear witness to the city's rich history. 

Its artistic estate is mostly in the Square of Miracles, where you can admire the Cathedral, the Baptistery, and the bell tower. By far, the most famous of these is the bell tower, known all over the world as the "Leaning Tower", a striking landmark that has been labeled one of the seven marvels of the world. With your guide, you will discover the fascinating history and artistry that has made this tower famous.

The tower's daring and original circular structure, and uniquely Pisan stylistic elements, along with the infamous lean that was evident even in the days of its construction, have made this bell tower one of the best known structures in all of Europe.

Construction on the tower began in 1173 and continued until its completion about two hundred years later. The fascinating history behind the tower's lean and the attempts at its reconstruction are of interest, as is its architectural beauty. Situated in the Piazza del Duomo, it is a magnificent example of Romanesque architecture, entirely covered in marble, with its great height making it visible from all areas of the Piazza and the river Arno.
