Start your guided tour at the Square of Miracles, also known as Piazza dei Miracoli in Italian. Your guide will explain the history of this grassy expanse and the major attractions contained within such as the gravity-defying Leaning Tower of Pisa and the grand marble-striped Pisa Cathedral. Roberto, one of our local guides, says, ‘Pisa’s Square of Miracles was suitably named for the rare architectural beauty of its monuments. It’s an honour for me to introduce this place and my homeland, Pisa, to visitors from all over the world.’
After admiring from the outside, follow your knowledgeable guide into the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Pisa Cathedral where you’ll hear fascinating details and stories about these landmarks and the city of Pisa. ‘With its extraordinary tilt giving the illusion of falling, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is indeed an authentic miracle of physics. It was designed to be perfectly vertical, but started to lean at a 10-degree angle during the construction and remains that way today,’ Roberto shares. He also offers some advice to tourists, ‘I’d recommend everyone, if able, to climb the tower’s 251 steps for incredible views you won’t soon forget.’
