Hidden Gems of Pisa

Beyond the Leaning Tower, Pisa offers a rich collection of artistic and architectural landmarks. Along the Arno River, the 13th-century Gothic church of Santa Maria della Spina stands out with its intricate facade, while the National Museum of San Matteo houses significant medieval ecclesiastical art. The city’s history is further showcased in the Renaissance-era Piazza dei Cavalieri, home to the Carovana Palace and the unique Clock Tower. Modern art is represented by Keith Haring's vibrant "Tuttomondo" mural, and historic meeting spots like Caffè dell'Ussero have hosted intellectuals since 1775.
