This square is very quiet, away from the busy Piazza del Duomo and Leaning Tower area. We spent a peaceful time wandering around it. The buildings surrounding this square are elegant palaces, medieval little churches, and a century old college belonging to the University of Pisa.

For the buildings around it, and the history behind them, particularly those associated with Ugolino and his family, it’s worth stopping. But you can’t go into any one of them.
