Pisa, Italy

Pisa is best known for its incredible sight; leaning tower. But, that is not all, there are some other sights that everybody should visit. The area around the Cathedral and Tower is beautiful and people can easily walk on the grass, which is soft like a carpet. 


                 Image Detail

Tower of Pisa is situated behind the Cathedral  is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square  after the Cathedral and the Baptistry. 


"Construction of the tower occurred in three stages across 177 years. Work on the ground floor of the white marble campanile began on August 8, 1173, during a period of military success and prosperity. This ground floor is a blind arcade articulated by engaged columns with classical Corinthian capitals.  
The tower began to sink after construction had progressed to the second floor in 1178. This was due to a mere three-metre foundation, set in weak, unstable subsoil, a design that was flawed from the beginning" (Wikipedia).
Summer is the time when everyone is going to visit Pisa and it pretty crowed those days. Fall could be really nice and pleasant for visiting it as well.

The big canal, which is long more than 3km, is flowing through city and makes it separated in two equal parts. Vehicles are not permitted at narrow and winding paths. Back in the days, gondola was the only transportation that people were using. It is still very popular, but more like an attraction for visitors. The ride with gondola is 120 but 4 or 5 people could fit in one and that way it wouldn't be so expensive. 
 Image Detail One of the sights that visitors should see is St. Mark's Square. The Square is full of pigeons and it is significant that they wouldn't move even when people are around. 
  Image DetailThe only lack of this beautiful place is English language. Italian people are struggling with foreign languages, so it is very hard to make a conversation with them, but that shouldn't affect anybody, because the beauties of the city  make people speechless.
