Fallen Angel & Palazzo dell'Opera, Piazza del Duomo

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.
