From the port of Livorno to Pisa: Square of Miracles - the secrets of great architects

Excursion to Pisa from the port of Livorno

Not only the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but the true character of the city.

Most cruise tourists arriving in the port of Livorno choose Pisa. This is the best option if you want to see one of the most famous cities in Italy in just one day.

But if you think that Pisa is just the famous Leaning Tower and a few photos on the Square of Miracles, I will gladly prove the opposite.

Excursion "Plaza Miracles - secrets of great architects" will be dedicated only to "Plaza Miracles" - one of the most beautiful architectural ensembles in Europe. Here, every stone holds history. You will learn why the tower began to fall, what secrets the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery hide, as well as why this ensemble is called a real miracle of medieval architecture.

Pisa Cathedral

Fast forward to the distant 1063, at the beginning of construction, the Cathedral of Pisa of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To understand what ideas the architects nurtured when they so skillfully combined elements of new styles for them - Islamic, Byzantine and northern Italy. We will make a real journey into the world of architecture and sculpture of Proto-Renaissance thanks to the interior decoration of the church.

Baptistery - City Baptistry

Visit dedicated to John the Baptist, which will amaze you with its giant size and interior decoration.

Cemetery - Camposanto

The monumental Camposanto Cemetery is one of the impressive museums on the Square of Miracles, where the largest collection of Roman sarcophagi is located, and the walls are decorated with a cycle of frescoes of the XIV-XV centuries “The Last Judgment”, “Hell”, “Anachoretes”, which still make a very strong impression. Especially the latter, "The Triumph of Death" by Buonamico Buffalmaco, so impressive that Bocaccio wrote from it the novellas "The Decameron". And the Hungarian composer Ferenc Liszt created his famous musical work “Dance of Death”.
