Itinerary

Stop 1

10 min

Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II was urbanistically reorganised in the 19th century, during which time the ancient medieval walls and the San Gilio gate were demolished. The latter, at the time, gave access to today’s Corso Italia, also known as Carraia del Carmine, which led to the station.
Murale Tuttomondo di Keith Haring

10 min

The mural ‘Tuttomondo’ was created by Keith Haring in 1989. The artist was invited to Pisa by Piergiorgio Castellani, a young Pisan who met him in New York and proposed that he create one of his street art works in the Tuscan city. We are going to see it!
Chiesa di Santa Maria del Carmine

15 min

A quick stop to visit this church. Built between 1324 and 1326, it was one of the first Carmelite churches in Europe, with the order already present in Pisa at the church of Sant’Apollinare in Barbaricina.
Chiesa di Santa Maria della Spina

Passing by

An extraordinary example of Pisan Gothic architecture, the small church of S. Maria della Spina was built in 1230 on the banks of the Arno at the site of an important bridge, the Ponte Novo, which joined Via Santa Maria and Via Sant’ Antonio, destroyed during the 15th century and never rebuilt.
Borgo Stretto

20 min

After our walk along the river, we find ourselves in Borgo Stretto (often simply called ‘Borgo’ by the Pisans), one of the busiest streets in Pisa. This area, with its architecture, arcades and shops, offers a significant glimpse of local history.
Piazza dei Cavalieri

20 min

In the Middle Ages, the area was known as Piazza delle Sette Vie, as seven streets converged there. Here stood the Palazzo degli Anziani and the Torre della Muda, where eagles were kept during the moulting of their feathers. These buildings, together with the former Palazzotto di Giustizia or del Capitano del Popolo, now form the Palazzo dell’Orologio.
