The Arno promenade

As we told before Pisa is very known for the Miracle’s square, but it is known for its Arno river promenade too: all the streets that go along the Arno are an important point of reference for the young of Pisa and interesting point of reference for the tourists. There are important building, dated back to the Middle age, that during the centuries has been transformed. Towers, bridges and buildings, in spite of their actual Renaissance appearance, has a medieval soul, which can’t be ignored by the eye of an attentive tourist. Among the great number of streets, the more known is the Medicean one which hosts a great number of historical buildings, such as: The de’ Medici Palace, Toscanelli Palace and the church of San Matteo in Soarta. But it’s not everything: here you can find numerous pubs, restaurants and bars where spend lovely nights. Every 16th June, in occasion of the celebrations in honour of the Saint Patron, the streets are illuminated by candlelights that give to the buildings a strange and beautiful look and it create suggestive light and colour play.
