About this place

Pisa's medieval walls form an impressive 3 km circuit of fortifications amongst Italy and Europe's oldest and best-preserved. Built from 1154 onwards, they stand 11 metres high and feature a walkable rampart path offering panoramic views across the city and towards the Piazza dei Miracoli. You can visit and stroll along the top of these remarkably intact defensive structures, experiencing both the engineering and the vistas that defined medieval Pisa.

Points included in this audio guide

1
Porta Nuova

Porta Nuova

Porta Nuova is one of Pisa's most significant city gates, built in 1562 on the orders of Cosimo I de Medici to replace the earlier Porta del Leone. Clad in rusticated white marble, this Renaissance gateway retains its elegant character within the medieval city walls. It remains one of the principal entry points when visiting Pisa's historic centre and offers a striking introduction to the city's architectural heritage.

Parlascio Bastion

Parlascio Bastion

The Bastione del Parlascio, positioned alongside the archaeological site of the Terme Romane (the Roman baths also known as Bagni di Nerone) and along the pedestrian axis of Borgo Stretto and Borgo Largo, represents a significant early example of the Italian bastion design. Following extensive restoration, this structure now serves as a key access point to the elevated walkway running along Pisa's city walls. The bastion also functions as a museum and exhibition space, offering visitors insight into the city's defensive architecture and historical development.
