"Do not Walk on the Grass"
OK, but how about sitting? Campo del Miracoli, the base of the Leaning Tower seen in the background. |

Most people know Pisa's famous Leaning Tower. Fewer know that it's just one component in a lovely
ensemble of medieval buildings; fewer still know that the rest of the city -- sadly --
is a largely modern place, the result of heavy bombing during Second World War.
Campo del Miracoli is a large grassy piazza that contains
the Leaning Tower (Torre Pendente), the Cathedral (Duomo),
the above Baptistry (Battistero), and the cemetary (Camposanto).
