🤯 The BEST of La Spezia 🍋 Pisa + Cinque Terre Travel Guide

Visiting Pisa, Italy is a captivating experience, especially if you are interested in architectural marvels and a touch of medieval history. The crown jewel of Pisa is undoubtedly the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), a UNESCO World Heritage Site that houses four architectural wonders: the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Pisa Cathedral, the Pisa Baptistery, and the Camposanto Monumentale (cemetery).

The Leaning Tower of Pisa, or Leaning Tower, is the most iconic landmark. Its unintended tilt, caused by a soft foundation, began during construction in the 12th century. This famous tilt has made it a favorite among tourists who love to capture that classic pose pretending to hold up the tower. Interestingly, the tower was stabilized by engineers in the 1990s to prevent it from toppling over.

Another architectural gem in the Piazza dei Miracoli is the Pisa Baptistery, a Roman Catholic baptistery dedicated to John the Baptist. Construction began in 1152 and took nearly two centuries to complete. The Baptistery is a beautiful example of Pisan Romanesque architecture, featuring intricate sculptures and a dome that boasts excellent acoustics.

The Pisa Cathedral, also known as the Duomo di Pisa, is the oldest building in the Piazza dei Miracoli. Construction began in 1063 and was completed in 1118. The cathedral is a magnificent example of Romanesque architecture, adorned with striking black and white marble. Inside, you'll find awe-inspiring frescoes, sculptures, and a bronze lamp by Galileo Galilei.

Don't forget to explore the Camposanto Monumentale, a monumental cemetery that used to be the city's main burial ground. The cemetery is particularly famous for its collection of Roman sarcophagi and Gothic frescoes.

Cinque Terre, meaning "Five Lands," is a string of stunning seaside villages clinging to the cliffs along the Italian Riviera. Manarola, one of the most picturesque of these villages, bursts with vibrant colors and a charm that will leave you enchanted. You can cool off with a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters of Manarola's marina. The water is calm and perfect for a relaxing dip, especially during the hot summer months. Remember that there aren't any designated beaches in Manarola, so swimming access is from the harbor area. Lace up your walking shoes and explore the network of trails that connect the five villages of Cinque Terre. The Manarola to Riomaggiore trail, also known as Via dell'Amore (Lover's Path), offers stunning coastal views and a romantic atmosphere (though be aware that this path may be closed occasionally due to maintenance). For a more challenging hike, trek further to Corniglia or Monterosso al Mare.

Lovely Cathedral. I went on a tour through Europe. I am Catholic. And the bus tour didn’t leave me “free time” to go to Mass . I visited Pisa, Milan, Florence, and Rome. Never got to get to Mass.🤔🙄😀 My Dad was like “what the heck you visit Italy and the Vatican and never went to Mass”. That Cathedral so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.❤️👍 This travel series is beautiful.
