This guided tour will reveal the many other historic and architectural treasures that Pisa has to offer, besides the well-known Leaning Tower.

The walking tour starts in the Square of Miracles with a general introduction to the monuments, and continues in the Piazza dei Cavalieri, the political center rebuilt by the famous architect Giorgio Vasari for Cosimo I: the heart of the Ancient Maritime Republic of Pisa.

Here you also can see the Church of the "Cavalieri", the "Palazzo della Canonica", the "Palazzo del Consiglio", the "Palazzo della Carovana" and the "Torre della Fame" where, according to Dante Alighieri, the Count Ugolino was imprisoned and later starved to death.

Following Via San Frediano, the tour moves through the old market "Piazza delle Vettovaglie", "Borgo Stretto", the commercial street of Pisa since the 13th century, the Church of Saint Michael, and then the "Ponte di Mezzo" from where it is possible to glimpse the Town-Hall (14th century) and the Medicean Market "Logge dei Banchi".

Following the Arno River embankments, you will see typical medieval Tuscan civil buildings, followed by a view of the Church of Saint Mary of the Thorn, which has housed a thorn believed to originate from the crown of Jesus, before your return to the Square of Miracles.
