Field of miracles: It's not unusual to experience a sense of vertigo when standing on Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles). The dominant feature of this grassy plaza

THE FAMOUS LEANING TOWER OF PISA

It tilts nearly 17 feet from the perpendicular.
Gravitational oddities aside, the tower and gleaming marble buildings you see nearby comprise one of the most impressive architectural ensembles in Europe.

THE CAMPANILE

By the time its third story was complete in 1274, the bell tower, or campanile, had already begun to tilt. Nevertheless, construction continued, and the fame of the 180-foot Leaning Tower was, in effect, guaranteed. Although its interior is closed to visitors, the exterior of the Romanesque campanile is an architectural treat. Bring binoculars to view details such as the lively frieze near the top of the first level.

June 2001 Pisa reopened their beloved landmark with a celebration that included an opera performance by one of my favorite native son Andrea Bocelli(:-))

Gone are the tacky suspenders and steel rings that strangled the tower for much of the last decade. Still though, visitors must wait until November to make the dizzying climb to the top as experts are still studying the structure's stability. In the past, groups of tourists filled the 8 storey tower's staircase. This time, only 30 individuals will be allowed inside at a time.

Pisa, one of Europe's oldest university towns, is best seen on foot. Visitors can browse the Piazza delle Vettovglie's open air market on weekday mornings. There is an antique fair @ 2nd weekend of each month at the Ponte di Mezzo. Pisa is on the coast of Tuscany a region famed for its food, wine and beautiful hill towns. Many people visit Pisa as a day trip from Florence about an hour away by train.
