Exploring Borgo Stretto: The Heart of Old Pisa

Nestled in the heart of Pisa, Borgo Stretto is one of the city’s most charming and historically rich quarters. This picturesque area, characterized by its narrow streets, elegant arcades, and vibrant atmosphere, offers visitors a genuine taste of traditional Pisan life. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a foodie, or simply looking to soak in the local culture, Borgo Stretto has something for everyone.

The heart of Borgo Stretto is Piazza delle Vettovaglie, known for its famous food market and lively nightlife with wine bars and local venues.
Key landmarks include the 18th-century Casino dei Nobili, Piazza del Pozzetto, and two lesser-known leaning towers: one near the Church of San Nicola and the other within the Church of San Michele degli Scalzi complex.
