Description

The Field of Miracles is the most popular attraction in Pisa and one of the most famous places in the world. Most tourists coming to spend their holidays in Tuscany visit the square of the Leaning Tower, the Duomo, the Baptistry, the Monumental Cemetery and the museums and then they leave Pisa. This usually provokes a "love it or hate it" reaction, which doesn't do justice to one of the most beautiful cities in Tuscany. The intricate frieze on the baptistery (Campo dei Miracoli) building a fine example of melding of the arabesque styles and classic medieval Italian architecture that was prevalent in the latter half of the 12th century. This exemplifies the fine architecture that one finds in Pisa.
