Miracle Square

The Monumental Cemetery, the Baptistery, the Cathedral and Bell Tower are the monuments which nestle inside the medieval walls in the north west of Pisa. 
They communicate amongst themselves and with us through a system of symbols found necessary in a society in which citizens were unable to read. The same stones relate to the stories of the Bible and tell us who assembled them and help us guess where they could have been situated before being recycled.
We can walk among the walls of the monuments of the Piazza del Duomo where one can hear the "bouncing echo" in the Baptistery, next we will explore the Cathedral, whose facade appears as a slightly asymmetrical human face with its own harmony which anticipates the wonders of the interior details such as Giovanni Pisano’s pulpit. The faces sculpted in the stones emerging from the walls of the Monumental Cemetery entice us to come to stroll around and retrace the history and spirituality of the city as it existed during the Middle Ages.
We walk in the shadow of the tower that maintains its original function: to draw people to the area so they can enjoy the beauties that surround it. Originally, it was the sound of the bells that attracted the passers-by, now it’s the "light" of its leaning miracle that stirs the curiosity and might prompt you to fool the camera by leaning on its shoulder like an old friend.
