Piazza dei Cavalieri
Pisa, Italia
Piazza dei Cavalieri
Piazza dei Cavalieri a Pisa è, dopo piazza del Duomo, la piazza più famosa della città . In antico essa rappresentava il centro del potere civile (rispetto a quello religioso della platea episcopalis), mentre a partire dalla seconda metà del Cinquecento divenne il quartier generale dell'Ordine dei cavalieri di Santo Stefano, voluto dal granduca Cosimo I de' Medici. Oggi è un polo d'attrazione culturale e di studio per la presenza della sede centrale della Scuola Normale Superiore.
In questa zona si trovava l'antico foro romano della città di Pisa. La piazza era il cuore politico della Pisa medievale, luogo di celebrazioni e discussioni: già in epoca longobarda vi risiedeva il gastaldo, il funzionario regale che amministrava la città .

Very cool piazza especially in the morning when you see so many people walking to go to the school etc. Always nice especially when there is sun
This place is beautiful...grand piazza with a beautiful statue in front of scuola normale...must visit
A lovely square full of interesting things to catch your attention!
nice place during the day, gets wrecked at night, super fun
Piazza dei Cavalieri is academically the most relevant place in Pisa: this square hostes the Normale school, that has a great history and lots of the most brilliant minds of '900 came from it. The Normale school is built in 1810 by Napoleon will. The weekends, in late night, lots of university students meet in the square to drink and to sink songs.
Great place! I'm on Holiday from Australia and I just was walking through Piazza dei Cavalieri when I saw "ECO friendly city tour" waiting. I was interested and found out that for just €10 I could get a 1 hour tour of Pisa in an electric vehicle to all the 'must go places'. I was surprised and once I heard it was just €10 for adults and free for under 14yrs, I couldn't resist. The tour was amazing and really well structured. It was money well spent! I totally recomend this tour of Pisa, I learnt so much and the guide was so friendly and open. They also do the tour in about 6 other languages too. Thanks so much for a great day.
Great place filled with university buildings and community sites.
Looking for a medieval quiet place? This is the right. Uncrowded and beautiful!
a lovely square in Pisa with an assembly of great buildings from different centuries. You will stumble upon it if you walk the small streets and alleyways of Pisa.
Nice Piazza... home of the local University. One of the campus.
There's more to Pisa than the Torre Pendente anyways I had braw lunch of peroni n pizza in a piazza in pisa!!🙂
Cool architechture and localtion for small concerts, but quite boring on it's own.
The piazza hosts a nice building, which belongs to Scuola Superiore Normale, one of the best universities in Italy
sit in the shadows while sipping a fresh drink and stare at the Scuola Normale di Pisa . The University for gifted youth.
Great place to relax, drink and have a bite with friends. Lively place with lots of people and sometimes even music. Always and good place to end a day after visiting this beautiful city. I highly recommend it to everyone.
It's a pretty piazza, why is Google asking stupid questions? Flat, stone, pretty buildings around it. Dodge the occasional car.
Nice corner cafe. Very good pizza and nocoise salad. Nicely located in a shady intersection.
Not far from the famous tower, you will find a place where time has stopped between a drop of water falling from the fountain and the clock dials. It's just here. Stop for a while.
