| Pisa's location along the Arno River and the Tyrrhenian Sea has made it a desirable seaside location for over 3,000 years. While the famous Leaning Tower is the city's most famous site, the surrounding Field of Miracles is one of the world's most beautiful medieval squares and equally impressive with elegant buildings and museums. Pisa was also the home of Galileo who was said to have drop weighted balls from the top of the Tower in the pursuit of science, and his legacy is evident through- out the city. After taking in the city's grand cathedrals and medieval city walls, visitors enjoy the authentic experience of perusing the Borgo Stretto shopping arcade and the old-fashioned Piazza Vettovagile food market. |
