Top Experiences in Church of San Sisto (Chiesa di San Sisto)

A splendid excursion through the Tuscan countryside to the art city of Pisa. Upon arrival, your informative guide will take you on a guided walking tour of Piazza dei Miracoli and its monuments, where you will admire the wonderful architecture of unique buildings, called in the past “Miracles” because of their incredible beauty. You will be dazzled by this marvelous square, by the Cathedral where you will visit the indoor part, the celebrated Leaning Tower, the round- shaped Baptistery, and its “Camposanto”, originally a cemetery, quadrangular cloister with its marble façade. The Guide commentary will be particularly focused on the Leaning Tower one of the wonders of the world: the history and the leaning structure of the Tower which stirs the imagination of all visitors. You will also have some free time for memorable pictures or to discover on your own Piazza dei Cavalieri, the political centre in the middle age, where Scuola Normale, world famous University, is located.
