Fallen Angel is a bronze statue located in the heart of the city, at the crossroads between Piazza dei Miracoli and via Roma. This captivating and imposing artwork represents a fallen angel with broken wings, symbolizing the fall from heights of his divine grace. The angel rests on a marble column, creating a contrast between the delicacy of the sculpture and the solidity of the base.

This sculpture, created by the sculptor Igor Mitoraj, has become an icon of Pisa, representing one of its most recognizable artistic attractions. Its presence in the city has been interpreted in various ways, arousing interest and reflection among visitors.

Adjacent to the Fallen Angel, you will find the Palazzo dell'Opera, a historic building that dates back to the 13th century. The palace was once used as a hospital, but today it houses a cultural and artistic centre. Its white stone facade is enriched by Gothic decorations and has a richly carved entrance portal.

As you walk along the cobbled streets of Pisa, you will be captivated by the majesty of this ancient building. You will be able to admire its pointed windows and closely observe the details of the sculptures that adorn the facade. The Palazzo dell'Opera is a perfect place to immerse yourself in the history and art of the city.

We recommend visiting Angelo Caduto & Palazzo dell'Opera during the day to fully appreciate its beauty and to enjoy a privileged view of the surrounding area. Pause to take some unforgettable photos and reflect on the symbolic power of the fallen angel.

This urban trekking route will offer you a unique experience, combining the artistic beauty of the Fallen Angel and the historic suggestiveness of the Palazzo dell'Opera. Prepare your comfortable shoes and let yourself be guided on this fascinating adventure to discover the heritage of Pisa.
