Description
Properties inscribed on the World Heritage List – Italy – Piazza del Duomo, Pisa 1987
The Square of Miracles or Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa is one of the most impressive squares in the whole of Italy, where the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Cathedral and Baptistery all vie for attention at once.
Despite the hype, nothing can prepare you for the grandeur of the Square of Miracles. The snow white marble of the buildings shines against the sky. The elaborate architecture shows off Pisa’s glorious past. And the Leaning Tower seems to defy the laws of physics.
The Italian writer D’Annunzio gave this square the nickname “Field of Miracles” and it stuck. It’s a name that still seems appropriate today, as does its status as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Despite the crowds of tourists posing in front of the tower, this is one of the indisputable highlights of a trip to Tuscany.
Don’t expect peace and quiet here. It’s a busy place year round, but the atmosphere is festive. It’s best to visit early in the morning in high season or late in the afternoon. Our advice? Come at night when the lighting and tranquillity make the place magical. During the summer months it’s possible to visit the buildings until 10pm. Book in advance if you’re thinking of climbing the tower.
