About this activity

Pisa, 1501. Banished from your homeland, you and your twin sister Rosa were sent to this city of quiet beauty and hidden resistance. While you sought peace, Rosa chose rebellion — and when the French caught her, they didn't imprison her. They cursed her.

Now Rosa fades with each passing day. Using the free Questo app, follow clues through 10 of Pisa's most atmospheric locations, solve coded puzzles, and uncover the truth behind the witch's curse — all at your own pace, no guide needed, ~50 minutes. The trail ends at the

Leaning Tower itself, where the final revelation awaits.

Woven through real Pisa history — the scandalous love life of Galileo, Dante Alighieri's unrequited obsession, and the secret power of the Medici — this self-guided romantic mystery is perfect for couples, friends, and curious travelers ready to see Pisa in a completely new way.

Start anytime. The coven is waiting.
