Pisa

The city of Pisa stretches along both banks of the Arno River, with medieval walls enclosing its historical center near the Ligurian Sea.

After becoming a Roman colony in 180 BCE, Pisa developed into a powerful maritime republic controlling western Mediterranean trade routes until the 13th century.

The University of Pisa, founded in 1343, maintains research centers and laboratories across multiple disciplines, contributing to the education of 50,000 students.

The central train station provides direct connections to Florence, Rome, and Genoa, while the international airport serves multiple European destinations.

The Piazza del Duomo contains four medieval monuments built with white marble: the cathedral, baptistery, bell tower, and monumental cemetery.
