Not only when talking about Italy, the city of Pisa, which has one of the world’s landmarks, is one of the cities with the most recognition in the world with the Leaning Tower of Pisa. What makes the Leaning Tower of Pisa famous is its oblique view, which, as everyone knows, is no different from a birthday cake.
Speaking of oblique views, I attribute Italy’s frequent tourist attraction to this. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is tilted to be demolished. It must be seen before it is destroyed. Indeed, Venice. It will be submerged, it is a must see before you stay! Then the twin towers in Bologna will collapse, they are also crooked. They even shaved one of them because it would be destroyed in half. You have to see it too. Nobody asks why you don’t make it solid. Let’s see Pisa, let’s do a kick and head pose. If not, let’s put an ice cream cone on top of it and pose for eating ice cream. Yes, these are clichés. Some things are not relative though. Lets start then.Sir, the place called Pisa is located in Tuscany region of Italy. West of this region faces the Tyrrhenian Sea, while to the east is the land of San Marino and the Adriatic Sea. To reach Pisa, there is the city’s airport near the city. There are direct flights from our country to Pisa Galileo Airport in the summer months. However, as of the date I wrote this article, I saw THY’s connecting flights to Pisa via Rome. We do not think that you came to Italy just to see Pisa. When you come to Pisa, Cinque Terre, which contains 5 magnificent villages, or Florence, where you can trace the traces of the Renaissance, Venice, and Rome should be in your plan, even if they are a little far from here. So don’t worry about your ticket.The most convenient option to reach the city from Pisa Galileo Airport is to reach the central train station. For this, you can use the S2 coded PisaMover, which moves every 10 minutes. In fact, the airport is so close to the train station that google calculates that it can be walked in 20 minutes. If you were to come here by train, how should you act? We came with the tickets we bought from Florence S.Novella Station. Most of the tickets you buy to reach here by train will be via Florence. (Except Genoa – there is direct transportation from here.) Frankly, we think that your time in Pisa will be limited. Just half a day will be enough to see Pisa. If you are going to visit the cities/regions mentioned above, you can stay somewhere near the train station.As soon as you get off the Pisa Train Station, you set foot in the city. As we mentioned above, the airport and train station are very close to the city center. If you have a backpack and suitcase, you can leave them in the locked safes here. When you take the train station behind you and walk, the road takes you to a beautiful square. Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II. There is a mural of the same name on Keith Haring street on the left side of the square. The work, which is predominantly pink and green, is on the wall of the church of Sant’Antonio Abate. We recommend that you examine the mural dating back to the early 1990s. (already on the road). This and similar works of the artist have attracted so much attention that they have inspired many brands.From here we find our way on the street called Corso Italia. This street is always a lively shopping street. There are many shops such as Zara HM, as well as cafes and restaurants. On the street where Corso Italia turns into Via di Banchi, you will see Logge Dei Banchi on your left before you come to Gambacort Square. The building was built in 1603 by Fernando Medici from the Medici Family. When you head towards the Arno river, you will see a small square and Palazzo Gambacorti, whose construction dates back to the 14th century. It becomes impressive especially with the clock tower illuminated at night. When you do not cross the bridge and continue to the left, you will see Santa Maria della Spina, one of the landmarks of Pisa. On your left on the road, a blue building called Palazzo Blu will welcome you. The first information about the foundations of this building dates back to the 12th century. The blue building, the last residence of the Gualandi family, was purchased by the Cassa di Risparmio di Pisa Foundation and turned into an art museum.Santa Maria della Spina is mounted on the banks of the Arno river as if it were a prefabricated building. The rectangular building is decorated with statues of patron saints and iconic saints on all four sides. The building, which was started to be built in 1230, was rebuilt in the 15th century, it was renovated many times due to its location by the river, and heavy sculptures were replaced by replicas. We recommend that you say it’s on our way and take a look. You can use Ponte Selferiono to cross from here. When you continue to Ponte Di Mezzo across the road, you will see the National Museum Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Reale on the left. There are many things inside, from antique cars to paintings and a porcelain collection. When you reach Ponte Mezzo you will see a beautiful city view. Piazza Garibaldi (Garibaldi Square) is located right at the beginning of the bridge. Garibaldi is a patriot, writer and general who played a role in the establishment of the Italian state. This 18th century person is one of Italy’s leading values. We enter the Borgo street from the right of Garibaldi Square. Don’t be fooled by what we call the street. These streets are like a normal street. The good part is that it is closed to traffic. You can walk comfortably. Along this street, there are cafes, colorful shops and restaurants under the glittering streets. Our next stop will be to walk these streets to the Knights Square. Let’s give a tip here. We would like to invite you to explore the old small narrow streets that open to the right and left along this street. Because at the end of the streets, you will see beautiful squares, houses, towers and palazzos, which are mansions in our country. When you reach the Knights‘ Square, you will see it with a beautiful square. There are 2 beautiful buildings in this square. Palazzo della Carovana and Palazzo dell’Orologio (Clock tower).These two buildings are public buildings of the University of Pisa. The clock tower was home to the Knights of St. Stephen, who gave the square its name. Actually, there were 2 buildings here, then they were connected by an arch. Palazzo della Carovana was built in the 15th century by Giorgio Vasari. Passing under the clock tower, you can continue to step towards the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Yes, you are finally where you want to be. Miracoli Square (Square of Miracles) is home to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, one of the most important landmarks of Pisa and Italy. This square, together with the baptistery and the cathedral, is under Unesco protection. The most striking structure of the square is the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which was built as the bell tower of the Cathedral of Pisa. The building, known as the leaning tower, has remained inclined since its construction due to the ground on which it is located. When they said it was destroyed, they managed to fix it at one point as a result of long efforts. The 56-meter-long building tries to stand in an inclined position at an angle of approximately 5 degrees. It is possible to climb the tower, which was built in 1173. We honestly thought that this building looked better from the outside than from the inside. Besides, it would not be a good experience to climb 300 steps and pay 18 Euros.Frankly, I likened this bell tower to a birthday cake. Another might compare it to a cone of ice cream. Hundreds of people visit Pisa every day, taking different forms to fix the tower. I tried to head off. You either stand crooked or kick. It’s up to you, it’s up to you to have fun. The other building in Duomo Square is the baptistery attached to the cathedral. The structures here already form part of the cathedral. The defect in the floor also affected the baptistery. You can see this clearly. The room is trying to stand obliquely. Source: Brandlifemag – Cengiz Selcuk
