On the southest edge of the square there is the building of Spedale Nuovo di Santo Spirito ("New Hospital of Holy Spirit") built in 1257
Piazza del Duomo ("Cathedral Square"), it is dominated by four great religious edifices: the Duomo, the Leaning Tower (the cathedral's campanile), the Baptistry and the Camposanto ( the long walk behind, partially covered by the Baptistry.
Florence is just 1.5 hours by bus from Pisa. Arrived this fabulous city of art by evening.
