Province of Pisa

The Province of Pisa is an area in Tuscany that stretches from the Tyrrhenian Sea coast to inland mountains. The region comprises 37 municipalities with varied terrain and different landscapes.

The area became a maritime power in the 11th century, controlling trade routes in the western Mediterranean. It lost its independence after defeat by Genoa and was later absorbed by Florence.

Each municipality in this area contains medieval structures and regional craft traditions that shape daily life. Volterra is recognized for its alabaster work, while San Miniato is known for its truffle production.

The area benefits from an international airport and an extensive network of trains and buses connecting towns. Visitors can move easily between different municipalities.
