Known primarily for its iconic Leaning Tower, Pisa is located in Tuscany, Italy. With a population of just under 90,000, Pisa lies beside the Ligurion Sea. For centuries, Pisa has been a top university town and today a large portion of the city's inhabitants are students at the University of Pisa.

As well as the Tower, the Piazza dei Miracoli or Square of Miracles is also home to the Duomo or Cathedral, and the Battistero (Baptistery) with its large, finely-decorated dome.
