Italy Part 5: Pisa, Piazza del Duomo

On the third day of our trip, we moved on to our next destination, Pisa, a city in Tuscany (central Italy). Pisa is known worldwide for its Leaning Tower.  It was built in 1173 and started to lean just after his construction due to settling of its foundations

Piazza del Duomo ("Cathedral Square") is a wide, walled area, recognized as one of the main centers for medieval art in the world. Partly paved and partly grassed, it is dominated by four great religious edifices: the Duomo, the Leaning Tower (the cathedral's campanile), the Baptistry and the Camposanto

PISA (52) The slanting tower looks a bit worrying, but it is still safe for people to climb to the top, with a limited number at a time, of course!

It is one of the world's most spectacular tourist attractions.

Walking through the streets of Pisa was a very pleasant experience for me with all the multi-coloured buildings and signboards.
