A Visit to Pisa

We left La Spezia today and headed to Pisa, a town famous for its world renowned Leaning Tower and having a great sense of humour. I just love the quote on the sign board for Pisa. The Leaning Tower is actually a medieval bell tower that began to lean due to unstable soil. Pisa also features the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, that includes the Leaning Tower, the Pisa Cathedral, the Pisa Baptistery and the Monumental Cemetery. Beyond that it is known for its historic squares, such as Piazza dei Cavalieri where the University is located, Romanesque architecture, the Arno River, which also runs through Florence, and its vibrant Tuscan atmosphere. We tried some of the local cuisine at lunch, devouring a delicious Schiacciate, chased by a salted caramel flavour gelato from Grom. From Pisa we went to Reggello in the Chianti Region and checked into our hillside villa for the next two nights.Læs mere
