Pisa, IT

Pisa is a city in Italy’s Tuscany region best known for its iconic Leaning Tower, the Torre Pendente. Already tilting when it was completed in 1372, the 56m white-marble cylinder is the bell tower of the Romanesque, striped-marble cathedral that rises next to it in the Piazza dei Miracoli. Also in the piazza is the Baptistry, whose renowned acoustics are demonstrated by amateur singers daily, and the Caposanto Monumentale cemetery.

Pisa And Its Lungarnos

Arno is the river which crosses the whole city of Pisa, as well as Florence. Italians call “lungarno” those streets which pass beside the riverbank. The lungarnos of Pisa, with splendid buildings and palaces that rise upon them together with romantic bridges represent some of the most famous and characteristic places of Pisa. Thanks to the central position of the river, lungarnos were convenient for the edification of hotels. Their centered location makes these hotels an ideal place to stay for tourists that come to visit Pisa.
