Experience incredible medieval art and architecture in Pisa’s glorious Field of Miracles and then explore more medieval treasures in the town Lucca. Few attractions are quite so iconic as the quartet of medieval masterpieces in Pisa —the Leaning Tower, Duomo, Baptistery and Camposanto. The guide will elaborate on the historical importance of this UNESCO World Heritage site while you take in its architectural beauty. In the nearby National Museum of San Matteo, you will see works of art from various ecclesiastical buildings throughout the province. Next, you will continue to Lucca, which the Romans founded in 180 BC. While little from that time remains, historical architecture is still the town’s most outstanding feature, especially its remarkably intact Renaissance walls. While meandering about, you may notice an odd curve to some streets. The reason is that the buildings lining them follow the footprint of the massive walls that once supported a Roman amphitheater.
