One of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany last year was to be our visit to Pisa. To be accurate, the main attraction was not so much the city of Pisa itself, charming though it undoubtedly is, but the Field of Miracles*. Well, to be punctiliously precise, it wasn't even the Field of Miracles that had our anticipatory juices flowing, but The Leaning Tower of Pisa in particular.
* The Field of Miracles is the area housing the Duomo, Tower, Baptistry and associated buildings.
To be honest, if you discount the Field of Miracles, I'm not sure that much else in Pisa merits a visit although I expect some Pisaphile will soon put me straight on that count. However, it can't be denied that the seething masses that are constantly disgorged from the tourist buses usually have one thing in mind and that's to take one of those corny snaps ...
Advantages: Visit to the one of the World Wonder Disadvantages: Careful with local thieves.
This is a wonderful place to visit in Italy. It takes about three and a half hours from Roma Termini station in a high speed train towards Turin (Torino in Italian). The ticket will cost you around 80 euros per person. This was on a New year day. From the Pisa Central station, you can take a bus to the leaning tower of pisa its just 10 minutes away. The bus stops straight in front of the Pisa entrance. There are two more churches and a museum inside the grounds. One of the churches is free and you should buy tickets to visit all the other churches and to climb the tower. Its said its very difficult to climb the tower as it has a very narrow stairs and once you go inside you have to reach the top as there is no space to two way traffic. There is a seperate way to exit the tower. The ticket to the tower alone will cost you around 15 euros ...
Advantages: Gives you something to do in Pisa Disadvantages: No safety fence.
We were having a lovely few days in Pisa, the tilting to the Leaning Tower had been arrested, it is even said it is now being reversed, but for obvious tourist reasons I do not envisage that it will be bought back to a level state.
History says it was begun in 1173 and that it has always tilted, subsidence disrupted the foundations so that when they had only errected 3 of the 8 storeys they knew they had a problem, so for the next 180 years a succession of Architects were employed to try and correct the fault.
By 1350 it was accepted that the angle would be accepted and the tower was completed, I imagine some far sighted business man had clocked onto its potential.
The tower was eventually closed to the Public in the 1990's with an overhang of 5 meters off the true.
Much work has been done in reversing the lean and it is open ...
