For centuries, the heart of Pisa was Knights’ Square (Piazza dei Cavalieri), a space remodeled by architect Vasari in the 16th century. This transformation turned it into a classic example of Renaissance civic planning. Today, the square is home to Pisa’s university and is situated in the medieval center of the city. Visitors can explore the harmonious layout and historic buildings that reflect the city’s rich past, making it a significant stop for those interested in Pisa’s cultural and educational heritage.
