Pisa the Maritime Republic, 1200
Pisa in 1200 stands at the height of its maritime power, a river city whose ships and merchants link the Tyrrhenian to the Levant and the Byzantine world. This walk moves from the river mouth and port through the Arno's quays, markets and tower-houses to the white marble cathedral field, the round baptistery and the rising, already-leaning campanile, ending on the city walls' high viewpoints.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Pisa as it stood in 1200 (“Republic of Pisa”).
