1. Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II
Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II was urbanistically reorganised in the 19th century, during which time the ancient medieval walls and the San Gilio gate were demolished. The latter, at the time, gave access to today’s Corso Italia, also known as Carraia del Carmine, which led to the station.
Duration: 10 mins
2. Murale Tuttomondo di Keith Haring
The mural ‘Tuttomondo’ was created by Keith Haring in 1989. The artist was invited to Pisa by Piergiorgio Castellani, a young Pisan who met him in New York and proposed that he create one of his street art works in the Tuscan city. We are going to see it!
Duration: 10 mins
3. Chiesa di Santa Maria del Carmine

In the Middle Ages, the area was known as Piazza delle Sette Vie, as seven streets converged there.
