The City Between Two Rivers (Section 1)

La città tra i due fiumi is the opening section of the Museo delle Navi Antiche di Pisa, serving as an introductory gallery to the city's history spanning archaeology and legend. It traces Pisa's development from its Etruscan and Roman origins through to the arrival of the Lombards. The name refers to Pisa's founding location between two major rivers—the Arno and the Auser (now the Serchio)—on alluvial land close to the sea. What to see here establishes the geographical and historical foundations essential to understanding the museum's wider collection.
