Healdout allowed me to purchase the same day with a bit of a discount, let's just say that it's inconceivable that children pay the same price as adults..(abroad children don't pay to enter museums..)in Italy in addition to paying to see our beauties we still had to queue at the entrance and make do with the bags that couldn't get in...the monument is worth it but everything else is a bit of a disincentive

We had some trouble finding parking and navigating that so we were a few minutes late to the steps, and the gentleman let us right in at the front of the line, which was so nice! What a beautiful property, totally amazed at the Pisa tower and also the fallen angel statue.

Loved going up the leaning tower. Views were amazing. Museums were ok. Not really my thing but there were some interesting historical information. The main buildings I really wanted visit was the cathedral & Baptistery, but sadly they were not open to the public that day as there was a religious ceremony taking place. Shame as I had paid the full amount to visit all 6 buildings which is quite expensive to only be able to visit 4 of these.

It's an iconic trip but you need to leave bags in lockers away from the entrance to the tower. This wasn't clear so we wasted time taking bags to the lockets and had to requeue. The steps inside the tower are incredibly slippery. No handrails so I wouldn't recommend this trip if you have mobility issues

The explanation of the guide was excellent, my daughter learned many things, I could not do the tour because I had an accident in Rome and could not move, I understand that I could not support me, neither you nor in Italy, it seems that they are prepared to assist a person because they do not have services and being a Sunday and in high season because they were too busy but I was close and I could hear the explanations of the guide, I hope in the future to make the visit.

Pisa Camposanto in a nutshell
Year opened
Construction of Camposanto began in 1277 and continued for over a century. It was officially consecrated in 1464, although parts of the structure were completed earlier.
Founder
Commissioned by Archbishop Federico Visconti and built by architect Giovanni di Simone, it was built with the purpose of serving as a burial ground for the city’s elites. The Camposanto’s foundations were laid with the sacred soil reportedly brought back from Golgotha by Archbishop Ubaldo de' Lanfranchi during the Crusades, giving it its name, meaning “holy field.”
Must-see highlights
Camposanto is home to some of the most emotionally powerful art in Pisa. Chief among them is The Triumph of Death, a 14th-century fresco attributed to Buonamico Buffalmacco, known for its vivid portrayal of mortality and salvation.
Current use
Although originally constructed as a monumental cemetery, Camposanto no longer serves a burial function. Today, it is both a sacred space and a site of cultural heritage preservation.
Unique facts
According to legend, bodies buried in this soil would decompose within 24 hours. It is the final resting place of several prominent Pisans, including mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci. The building itself, with its Gothic cloisters and dramatic marble arcades, reflects the city’s medieval power and deep religious roots.

What to see inside
Cloister Architecture & Courtyard
Entering Camposanto, you’re greeted by white marble cloisters and graceful Gothic arches. Light filters through the arcades, shifting throughout the day and casting a peaceful glow. Each column is subtly unique, shaped over 150 years. The harmony of stone, shadow, and silence creates a meditative atmosphere that sets the tone for the sacred space ahead.
Roman sarcophagi & medieval tombs
Lining the walkways are Roman sarcophagi, their carvings blending mythological scenes with Christian symbols. Repurposed in medieval times for noble families, these tombs show an evolving spiritual identity. Inscriptions, family crests, and sculpted details add layers of history, making the cloisters not just a cemetery, but Pisa’s most honored memorial ground.
Fresco galleries
Along the inner walls, vivid frescoes unfold stories of faith, morality, and mortality. Restored works like The Triumph of Death and Gozzoli’s Old Testament Stories reveal brilliant pigments and centuries-old technique. Once damaged in WWII, these masterpieces now stand resilient, offering a visual journey through medieval imagination and religious reflection.
Aulla Chapel
Tucked within the cloisters is the intimate Aulla Chapel. Built in the 16th century, it features a decorated wooden ceiling and an 18th-century crucifix. Still in use for quiet prayer, it’s one of the few active sacred spaces in the Camposanto—offering a pause for spiritual reflection amidst the grandeur of the cemetery.

The Ammanati Cenotaph
Among the tombs, the Ammanati Cenotaph stands out for its classical style and intellectual symbolism. Dedicated to jurist Ligo Ammannati, it blends elegance with meaning, reflecting the civic values of medieval Pisa. Its sculpted form honors legal scholarship and the humanist ideals that shaped the city’s cultural legacy.
Restoration & Sinopia Exhibit
Before you leave, explore the Sinopia Exhibit, a behind-the-scenes look at fresco preservation. Here, reddish-brown underdrawings exposed during WWII are displayed on movable panels. Interactive exhibits explain how science and art came together to restore Camposanto’s treasures, making this gallery a favorite for art lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

The Triumph of Death
Attributed to Buonamico Buffalmacco, a dramatic fresco filled with allegory and medieval symbolism. It presents a stark contrast between the lives of the rich and the inevitability of death, with winged skeletons swooping down on unsuspecting nobles.
Architectural highlights
Gothic harmony in marble
Begun in 1278 by Giovanni di Simone, Camposanto was designed as a cloistered cemetery in the Pisan Gothic style. The structure wraps around a rectangular courtyard, featuring a harmonious sequence of pointed arches supported by slender marble columns, creating a luminous and meditative space.
Sacred geometry and light
The architectural rhythm of the cloisters—with 43 blind arches on the exterior and 62 open arcades facing the inner courtyard—was crafted to invite natural light into the corridors. This play of shadow and illumination amplifies the solemnity of the tombs and frescoes within.
Reused classical elements
Many of the tombs and wall bases are made from reclaimed Roman marble, including richly carved sarcophagi dating as far back as the 3rd century CE. These classical relics were repurposed to connect Pisa’s medieval identity with the grandeur of ancient Rome.
The war-torn roof and fresco rescue
Camposanto’s wooden roof was destroyed during an Allied bombing in 1944. While many frescoes were severely damaged, restoration efforts have since revived masterpieces like The Triumph of Death using sinopiae (original sketches) and experimental conservation methods—making the site a symbol of cultural recovery.

Healdout allowed me to purchase the same day with a bit of a discount, let's just say that it's inconceivable that children pay the same price as adults..(abroad children don't pay to enter museums..)in Italy in addition to paying to see our beauties we still had to queue at the entrance and make do with the bags that couldn't get in...the monument is worth it but everything else is a bit of a disincentive

We had some trouble finding parking and navigating that so we were a few minutes late to the steps, and the gentleman let us right in at the front of the line, which was so nice! What a beautiful property, totally amazed at the Pisa tower and also the fallen angel statue.

It was very cool. There were not many people so we hardly had to wait in line. To go up the tower, make sure you leave your backpack in the checkroom first.
