Monolocale in Pisa

The cluster sits inside the built-up area of the city of Pisa. The Arno river runs through the city and reaches the nearby coast at its mouth. The Tyrrhenian coast with beaches and coastal pinewoods at Marina di Pisa and Tirrenia lies within the 15 km radius. The Parco Regionale Migliarino, San Rossore e Massaciuccoli occupies the coastal plain nearby and includes beaches, pine forest and wetlands. The surrounding landscape within 15 km is principally the low-lying Pisan plain with agricultural land and coastal dune and pine formations; no mountains or ski areas lie within the local radius. Pisa is an administrative and transport hub with Pisa International Airport (Galileo Galilei) and a mainline railway station with frequent connections to Florence, Livorno and other regional centres. The city contains the Piazza del Duomo (Piazza dei Miracoli) with the cathedral, baptistery and the Leaning Tower; the piazza is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is known for its medieval maritime-republic history and for the University of Pisa.
