Pisa - More Than a Leaning Tower
Pisa attracts bus after bus of
tourists every day of the year to see its most famous attraction. The
leaning tower of Pisa has become an Italian symbol, much like Pizza and
Pavarotti! The city has put a lot of effort into the tower and it is
again safe to visit. Many people may be surprised to hear that the tilt
is actually intentional, after architects concluded that the stories of
the accidental tilt were most probably just that – stories. Accidental
or not, the fact remains that it is one of the most beautiful, unique
buildings in the world – a view shared by the Italian government who
spent $80 million on restoration in the early nineties. Bookings are
essential and only 30 people can go up per half hour so make your
booking and be on time!
There is so much more to Pisa than the tower and you will need plenty of
time to explore what is on offer. The Cathedral houses one of the first
and finest examples of Pisan Romanesque. Bonanno, one of the leaning
tower of Pisa architects contributed to the cathedral, including the
fabulous bronze doors towards the south of the building. A fire in 1595
destroyed much of the original art but one of the most impressive pieces
- the great mosaic of Christ Pantocrator luckily survived. The pulpit, a
work by Pisano displays an array of Christian and classical elements,
unique to its time period. Opening hours vary throughout the year so
check times and days of opening before hand.
Close to the cathedral is the Museo delle Sinopie. It houses many
sketches of the frescos destroyed in the Campo Santo fire – the
sketches are works of art in them selves and give a great impression of
what the finished pieces looked like. The Museo Del Duomo, also close by
contains pieces of the cathedral façade, along with some unique pieces
like the griffin from the cathedral top. Giovanni Pisano’s ugly
gargoyle style face sculptures stand out along with more pleasant works
by Nino Pisano and Camaino. Both museums are open year round with
admission fees payable on arrival.
Pisa has no ‘centre’ as such, so you will find the city’s
attractions scattered all over. Other highlights throughout the city
include the Palazzo della Carovana and Palazzo dell’Orologio. To the
west of here you will find the beautiful botanical gardens, to the south
the University of Pisa (established 1330) and east of the university are
the lively markets of Piazza Vettovaglie.
The Galileo Galilei airport is only 3km away, with regular cheap buses
linking the airport to the city. Once in the city, all buses depart from
the Plaza Vittorio Emanuele II, near the stazione centrale. Bus tickets
are cheap (less than €1 for 1 hour’s unlimited bus riding) and cover
routes for wherever you need to go. There are so many more cultural
things to do in Pisa than shop, but it is a great place for souvenir
tackiness – every variation of colour of the leaning tower of Pisa you
can think of! You can’t fail to find an exquisite place to eat in
Pisa, everything from Tuscan and Sardinian specialities at Il Nuraghe,
to dishes elsewhere that even the chef is not sure of!
