They were built by Emperor Claudius in 42 AD and were designed to protect the city from attack. The walls have been partially restored.

Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa is famous for having some of the most iconic buildings in the world. The Duomo, the Baptistery and the Campanile are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Duomo di Pisa is one of the most recognizable buildings in Italy and one of the finest examples of Italian Romanesque architecture. It was built over a period of almost 200 years (1173-1360) by different architects, with Arnolfo di Cambio being responsible for its current form. It is home to many works of art, including Michelangelo’s “Pietà”.
Battistero di San Giovanni
The baptistery of San Giovanni in Pisa is famous for its octagonal shape, the use of white marble and the intricate carvings on the exterior.
The octagonal shape is a symbol of perfection in the medieval Christian world. The baptistery was built in 1152 and was consecrated by Pope Eugene III. It has been renovated many times since then and is currently under renovation for its 800th anniversary.
The exterior carvings are incredibly complex and each panel tells a story from Christianity or other religions. The most famous carving is “Spring” which depicts the goddess Venus emerging from her shell as a symbol of fertility and new life.
Monumental Cemetery
The Monumental Cemetery of Pisa is famous because it was the first cemetery in Italy to be built after the unification of Italy. It was also the first cemetery to be built on a large scale. The cemetery is located in Pisa and is one of the most important monuments in Italy.
Leaning Tower
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most famous buildings in the world. It is famous for its leaning, which was caused by a simple construction error.
The tower was built in 1173 and finished in 1372. The architect realized that the tower was leaning but did not have enough money to fix it, so he left it that way.
It is not clear why this building is so famous, maybe it is because of its leaning or maybe people just like to visit it because of its history. But whatever the reason, this building has become a symbol for Italy and for engineering failures around the world.
