Pisas history is as ornate as its gothic architecture. It's much more than just a town with a funky bell tower. For centuries the city flourished in all aspects including commerce, culture, and education.
Ancient Roman texts refer to Pisa as the old city, but it's not clear who is behind its foundation. In any case, having a strategic location, Pisa is a collage of global influences that entered the city through trade or a myriad of wars and conflicts. The most prosperous time in the town was definitely the 12th century when represented one of the strongest military and economic bodies in the area.
However, the decline knocked on the door soon after. Finally, in 1509, Florentines conquered Pisa, and the town lost its independence. The strongest blow for the city was the destruction left behind by WWII, and it took years of reconstruction to get the city into its current shape.
However, its impossible to recount the story by Pisa guide in two short paragraphs. You can hear all about its eventful history when you book our Half Day leaning tower of Pisa city tour!
