The highlight of any trip to Pisa, the Leaning Tower is world-renowned for its distinctive tilt. Built as the freestanding bell tower of the cathedral, this marvel of medieval architecture stands at 57 meters tall.

Haring's mural, one of his last works before his death, portrays a series of figures and symbols that express themes of harmony, human connection, and love. It's a fascinating contrast to the historic sites and an important piece of contemporary art in Pisa.
