A piazza is a square. The aspects that transform this "square" into the "Field of Miracles" are the Cathedral, the Baptistry, the Leaning Bell Tower, the Monumental Churchyard and the lovely, large well-maintained lawn that surrounds and contrasts beautifully with the gray stone monuments. It makes your visit more enjoyable and your photos lovelier.

I always wanted to see it since I was a kid and this is a dream came true to me. we took a train from Florence and it took approximately an hour to Pisa. Then we walked all the way from train station to this Piazza dei Miracoli which took us less than 30 minutes walk. Don't miss the opportunity... More

Some of the best, most amusing and entertaining people watching ever. The best one, is to see the canned photo so many do of the person in the photo holding up the Leaning Tower. There is a video in this for some enterprising soul.

It is an attraction you really musn't miss if visiting Pisa and it is beautiful, especially with all of the details in contruction. Other than that is it packed with tourists, more focused on getting the right picture taken that actually admiring the buildings. I reccommend seeing the cathedral and for 2€ each check the the Baptistry and the Camposanto.... More

Even on a cloudy, rainy day in May, the piazza is jammed with tourists who look just like you in their efforts to get a photo of the Tower without it being obscured by heads of strangers bobbing in the foreground. Forget about it - you'll be there for a month trying to get a clean photo of any of... More

The most beautiful Piazza anywhere, go and enjoy the beauty, and the market stalls. But don't get caught out with pushy street sellers with fake goods !!!

It was a beautiful sight, especially considering that the small town of Pisa doesn't have any buildings in other areas around that we noticed as spectacular.

The Campo dei Miracoli is a stunning sight achieved only after trudging past stall after stall of cheesy souvenirs that include resin versions of the classic leaning tower and underpants printed with Michelangelo's David, well, with some of his parts. You turn the corner, and step through the gate and gaze in awe at the sight of the beautifully carved... More

We visited Pisa as a day trip from Florence. We enjoyed the journey going to Pisa - it was fabulous. The view of Tuscany is so beautiful - the mountains, the villages, the fields - worth a king's ransom! The best 30-minute (almost) bus ride for the family. And when we reached the Piazza de Mircacoli, our eyes had a... More
