Arrived in Pisa to specifically see the Piazza Del Duomo and it is indeed breathtakingly beautiful and majestic. No matter what angle you looked it, it cuts an awesome sight around the rest of the landscape. Having said that, I was put off to say the least by the hawkers that met you the moment you drove in the area... More

Although it would seem that once you see one cathedral, you have seen them all, it is not the case. There is a uniqueness in each one that can only be appreciated if seen in person. More

Was very very beautiful and I had never heard of it before. The Tower obviously gets all the attention but this is not a bad second! More

The best Pisa has to offer with all good attractions gathered there. Only annoying thing is the amount of people trying to sell you useless items. More

Lovely and smaller than expected but its incredible to find such a place in the middle of the city. It appears the piazza is well-kept up by the city. Obviously they are proud of these historic buildings More

You have to go to the Piazza and it is a beautiful sight. Sitting on the grass overlooking the area is enjoyable. We went into the Baptistery but there is little to see.

The Piazza hosts 3 attractions - the baptistry, the duomo proper and of course the tower. Peek behind the former two and see how the cheapskate city dwellers initially used cheap material away from the fascias, recycled Roman villa marble, complete with ""Ceaser was here"" inscriptions etc. and compare with the immaculate exteriors in nearby Florence (where the real money...
