The Cathedral, Campanile, and Baptistery in the Piazza dei Miracoli comprise one of the most famous groupings of buildings in the world. Easily reached and located on the northern end of Pisa, the plaza is one of the most visited touristic sites in the world. The city was a major maritime power in the 9th to 11 centuries but was defeated by Genoa in 1284 and came under the control of Florence in 1406 into the 16th Century before reestablishing independence. It united with the remainder of the italian states in the 19th Century.
For me, one of the most remarkable things about this site are the lush green (well-fenced) lawns which make these structures appear all the more striking.

The Baptistery, Cathedral and Leaning Tower are so beautiful Lew. To see something so special must have been marvelous. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you, and wishing you & your's too the very best for a happy and fullfilled 2011.
These 3 sites in such proximity comprise a remarkable trilogy. I'm not hearing rampant echoes of commercialism although it must exist to some degree in such a popular site.
I want some of these photos too! Im definitely getting there soon!
it's funny i see this everyday on my way to work :D welcome back i'll show u more ^__^
I had to Google "nekulturny" to find out what it meant. All that grass and nobody walking on it! So Pisa Tower is stabilized. So now you walk under the lean without worrying?
I have been to Pisa. Reading even a small amount about it just makes me want to go back! I can feel a trip to Italy coming on...
