Trade flourished, the city grew rich, and this gave it the opportunity to develop not only economically, but also culturally. A unique complex of religious buildings was built on a large square. Now Pisa is one of the most visited tourist cities in Italy. Its popularity is due to the "Square of Miracles", where all the main attractions of Pisa are located: the Duomo Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Memorial Cemetery and of course the famous Leaning Tower, architectural masterpieces built in the Pisan-Romanesque style. The cathedral and the bell tower played an important role in the development of Physics as a science. In the Duomo, Galileo Galilei observed the swinging chandelier, and discovered the theory of isochronism of small vibrations, which formed the basis of his work on Dynamics.
