Caught a shuttle bus from tourist coach parking area for Leaning Tower location . The distance is about a kilometer and a half or so and we took about 10 to 15 mts to reach the destination .The path leads through narrow lane lined on both sides by shops selling souvenirs. memorabilia and gift items .

| The shops. |
Pisa is famous for its Leaning Tower but where the leaning tower is located is called Square of The Cathedral ( Piazza del Duomo ) or also as Square Of Miracles ( Piazza del Miracoli ).and the leaning tower is actually a free standing "Bell Tower" of the cathedral !!
The square is supposed to have four buildings of great hisstorical significance . One of course is the leaning tower, most famous of all , the second is the Cathedral , third is Baptistery,and lastly building of historical significance is camposanto. It so less well known and compared to other buildings so innocuous that , to be truthful , yours truly did not even visit it :-(
The Baptistery , Cathedral are grand and beautiful buildings from in and outside and worth a visit for their own sake . Hear have a look for your selves:-
