Discover the wonder and majesty of Pisa's UNESCO World Heritage Sites with a five-hour excursion that includes a climb up the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. From La Spezia you'll travel by motorcoach to the medieval town of Pisa where your guided walking tour begins. From the "Square of Miracles," stroll past the 950-year-old Cathedral of Pisa, the first structure erected in the square. Nearby stands the circular Baptistery. Begun in 1152, it was completed a century later in the more ornate Gothic style. The Piazza's oldest site is the Camposanto. Built in 1278, this serene cemetery is believed to hold earth from the hill where Jesus was crucified. Next is Piazza's crowning glory, the Leaning Tower. Standing 185 feet high, the Tower boasts a 297-step spiral staircase. After your climb, you'll have 60 minutes to further explore the Piazza before rejoining your motorcoach and returning to La Spezia.
