Day 1 - September 13th

Guided tour @ Cathedral and Camposanto

Founded in 1064 and consecrated with great pomp on September 26th, 1118, the Cathedral was built in two stages, one by architect Buscheto, who created the original layout with the basilican body with four aisles and one nave, a transept with one nave and two aisles, and the dome on the cross vault, and one by Rainaldo, who extended the building and the façade. The building was not finally completed until the last quarter of the XII century, when Bonannoís bronze leaves were placed on the central door, which were later destroyed by the devastating fire of 1595, after which many of the destroyed works were replaced and a vast decorative plan was started.

The Camposanto is the last monument on Piazza del Duomo, its long marble wall flanking the northern boundary and completing its shape. It was founded in 1277 to accommodate the graves that until then were scattered all around the Cathedral. Archbishop Federico Visconti wanted the building to be a “large and dignified, secluded and enclosed place”. This is how one of the oldest Christian Medieval architectures for the devotion of the dead came into being.

Standing "Aperitivo" dinner @ "Bistrot dell’Opera" Cafe

The perfect place to admire the inclination of the famous Tower. One unique location with 'the secret view of the tower'. As the locals say: "You have not visited Pisa if you have not seen 'the secret view of the tower'". Modern Italian Café and a Gourmet Restaurant with a truly unique Panoramic Pisa Tower Terrace.
