The magnificent architectural works of Pisa date back to the height of its wealth and glory, when it had lands in Africa and Asia. At that time, corresponding to the end of the Middle Ages, Pisa had so many and so influential artists that it gave its name to an important style: Pisan, a kind of Romanesque with Islamic reflections.
