I need interesting facts about pisa ( in Italy) ??? ASAP?

Question

as above

Answer 1

Hi! I Live and Study in Pisa..

Apart from Piazza dei Miracoli (so the Torre Pendente, Camposanto, Duomo and Battistero of San Giovanni Battista)  you can visit Piazza dei Cavalieri where there is the Normale (an important and very famous university, the building is designed by Giorgio Vasari) and the Church of the Cavalieri di Santo Stefano. You can also visit the church of Santa Maria della Spina near the river Arno.

Go and have shopping in Corso Italia and Borgo Stretto...

In the evening go for a walking along the Arno, when it's dark it's illuminated and it is very beautiful (and there are always many students that after the lessons at the university go there and have fun)...

Answer 2

It's a tourist trap. You have to pay a fortune to get into any of the buildings on the Campo Dei Miracoli.

The tower leans because it was built on sand, and nearly fell but engineers have rescued it for now.

Pisa used to be a naval town but the harbour silted up.

I was there a couple of years ago, and one interesting fact I found was that there wasn't a single bar open in the entire city!
