WALLS OF PISA. HISTORY
In the Middle Ages Pisa was one of the richest and most prosperous cities in all of Italy and for this reason, as of 1154, it was furnished with new walls, up to 11 metres high and over 2 metres thick and fortified with towers and bastions. The overall perimeter measured 6,435 metres and followed the natural elements present, in particular the waterways that skirted or passed through the residential centre. The city walls remained largely intact until the second half of the 19th century; it was only later, with the expansion of the city, that they were no longer protected and significant demolitions were carried out.
After various decades a long and painstaking restoration project was launched making it possible to restore an approximately 3 km stretch of wall to the city, accessible from four different points.
