WHAT TO SEE IN PISA

The city of Galileo Galilei and the Leaning Tower

Pisa, embraced by the Arno River, is one of the most well-known Italian cities in the world thanks to the iconic Leaning Tower.
The charm of this city is undeniable, making it a must-see destination just over 4 km from Locanda Sant'Agata, easily reachable by public transport or even by bike thanks to the convenient bike path connecting San Giuliano Terme to the center of Pisa.
Pisa is a city rich in historic monuments, also famous for being the birthplace of Galileo Galilei. The enchanting Piazza Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987, is an open-air museum that hosts one of the most famous architectural complexes in the world. The Tower, the Cathedral, the Baptistery of Pisa, and the Camposanto are the city's symbolic tourist attractions and priceless treasures of Romanesque art, so much so that they were referred to by Gabriele D’Annunzio as "miracles," which is why Piazza Duomo is also known as "Piazza dei Miracoli" today.
Piazza dei Miracoli is also a place full of symbolism, representing the allegory of the three stages of human life: the Baptistery symbolizes birth, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta symbolizes life, and the Camposanto symbolizes death. Due to its strategic location, Pisa is a river city with a millennium-long historical importance, first as a Roman port and later as one of the major Italian maritime republics.
