From the inner square there is a fantastic view of the tower without any crowd. You can enjoy the view sitting on the bench in a peaceful surrounding. More

Reluctant to recommend this as it is a place you would rather others did not discover. A haven of tranquility - the garden is wonderful. It used to be a private house. More

Largely ignored by tourists (which will be to your advantage), the museum is of some historical interest. But, it's the close proximity to the Tower (any closer and it would be an extension to the Tower) that makes this a must-visit. Up on the terrace of the first floor or out in the beautifully manicured courtyard, you can sit and... More

Pisa has many tourist attractions including this one that people just don't know about....hence this review. A small museum but very interesting. Worth wandering in. More

This was the most informative part of our trip to the Campo dei Miracoli. This museum is surprisingly large and you can see a number of statues from the Duomo, Baptistery and tower. There is also art work, clothes belonging to the church and a lot of other information. It has a small but well kept garden and a balcony... More

This gem of an attraction could easliy be overlooked with all the dramatic buildings in the Cathedral area, however it is worth taking the time to go around this museum for a number of reasons. Along with the religious artifacts within the displays, there is an excellent collection of manuscripts and books along with original carvings and other precious objects... More
