Amazing views, a lot of history, the climb up to the tower is worth it, be careful to watch your belongings always and don’t park your car anywhere without parking attendant or private parking lot because it most likely will be broken into.

We got tickets on the day (the only option, I believe?) And our time was approx 1hr from when we got them. There is a nice grass area to sit in or you can go around elsewhere and explore.
The cathedral is beautiful with beautiful art and sculptures... Read more » Explanation signs are in both Italian and English which was great for us.
Id recommend getting your ticket first then exploring the grounds, if you do it this way there will be less waiting.

The Church, dedicated to Saint Maria Assunta, lies at the centre of Square of Miracles. "White marble temple as snow" (reads an inscription on the facade), the cathedral of Pisa is one of the greatest masterpieces of Romanesque architecture, which combine stylistic elements Lombard-Emilian, classic, late ancient, Byzantine, Ravenna and Arabs. Master Buscheto in 1064 begun with construction and finished in the mid-1100s by master Rainaldo with the extension of the building and the facade, it was built as a symbol of the power of the Pisan Maritime Republic. The plan of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is a Latin cross with five naves in the central body and three in the transept. The facade is made of gray marble and white stone with inclusions of colorful marble. In the three bronze doors, the work from the workshop of Giambologna, are depicted stories of the Redeemer and the Virgin (Storie del Redentore e della Vergine). The interior is tiled with white and black marble, and the interesting thing is that the Corinthian capitals are spoils of war from the mosque in Palermo (1063). The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is very richly decorated and houses many works of great historical and artistic importance. The vault is gilded, while the dome painted with frescoes. The apse is decorated with mosaics Cimabuea (Fig San Giovanni), and there is the famous Romanesque marble pulpit, which was performed by Giovanni Pisano. The tomb of St. Raineri, the patron saint of Pisa, Emperor Henry VII. and Pope Gregory VIII, but also relics of the three saints related to the Crusades (Abibo, Gamaliel, and Nicodemus) are located in the Cathedral. Galileo Galilei is believed to have embodied his theory of the movement of the pendulum by watching the swinging chandelier hanging from the vault of the cathedral's main nave.
