To begin your visit, take a walk around Piazza dei Miracoli : it is here that you can admire the famous Tower of Pisa, its impressively beautiful baptistery, its cathedral and the Camposanto Monumental Cemetery. Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, these buildings have the particularity of symbolizing the cycle of life, from birth to death. If you were to choose only one of these monuments to visit, you should without hesitation bet on the Leaning Tower.
