Although home to many churches and medieval palaces, as well as to one of the oldest universities in Italy, the most famous sight in Pisa is the leaning tower located at Piazza dei Miracoli<\/strong>. This unique square is actually a large meadow with the cathedral, bell tower (the Leaning Tower of Pisa) and the baptistery. It is possible to climb up the bell tower, but be prepared for a large queue. On a sunny day, you will be absolutely mesmerized by the contrast of white marble, clear blue sky and the green grass. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
