tourist attraction · Pisa Piazza dei Cavalieri is Pisa's second main square, the political centre of the medieval city and later the seat of the Order of the Knights of St. Stephen. Giorgio Vasari remodelled the Palazzo della Carovana, with its sgraffito facade, in the 1560s; today it houses the Scuola Normale Superiore, beside the church of Santo Stefano and a statue of Cosimo I.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the freestanding bell tower of Pisa Cathedral on the Piazza dei Miracoli, begun in 1173 and finished with its belfry in 1372. Soft ground made it tilt during construction; work from 1993 to 2001 reduced the lean to about four degrees. Visitors climb some 290 steps to the top, where seven bells hang.
