What to expect
The cathedral stands at the heart of the Square of Miracles, the Piazza del Duomo, where it forms the centerpiece of a group of religious buildings set on a broad lawn. Its address is Piazza del Duomo, 56126 Pisa. Visitors come to see a medieval church in its original setting, and the square itself is a large part of the experience.
