ピサ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Founded in 1064 thanks to the booty the Pisans brought from the sack of Palermo and from the anti-Saracen exploits of Reggio, Sardinia, and Bona, the Cathedral of Santa Maria testifies to the prestige achieved by the Maritime Republic of Pisa at its height. This is evident in the fact that the church was built outside the city walls and symbolized a power that feared no threat. The cathedral was built in two phases, each associated with the architects Buscheto, author of the original plan with a basilica body with five naves, a transept with three naves, and a dome on the cross; and Rainaldo, who designed the extension of the building and created the façade, characterized by contrasting black and white colors and the persistent use of reused materials from Roman monuments to emphasize the greatness of Pisa.

Good cycling path. Partly semi-paved, partly asphalt. Moderately maintained. But attractive for cycling. Quiet, green and no traffic.

From Piazza del Duomo you can easily see all the sights.

We visited it on the way to Livorno. It's well worth seeing!

Every time beautiful but this time on the bike it was pure magic!

I always imagined it to be bigger. Highly recommended.

There are several sights in Piazza del Duomo in Pisa. The square is also called Piazza del Miracoli. Here you can find the Battisterio, Duomo Santa Maria Assunta, Leaning Tower and the Camposanto Monumentale.

The city of Volterra stands on a hill between the Era and Cecina valleys, surrounded by two historic city walls: one dating back to the Etruscan era and the other built in the thirteenth century. This city, known in Etruscan times as Veláthri, was one of the major city-states of ancient Etruria. During the Middle Ages, Volterra became the seat of an important episcopal lordship. Its fame is linked to the fine workmanship of alabaster, an art that constitutes one of the most significant contributions to Italian craftsmanship.
