Palazzo della Carovana, designed by Giorgio Vasari in the 16th century, stands majestically in Piazza dei Cavalieri, one of Pisa’s most charming squares. Originally built for the Knights of St. Stephen, its stunning façade boasts allegorical sgraffiti, grand staircases, and detailed busts. Today, it functions as the headquarters of the prestigious Scuola Normale Superiore, imbuing the square with a vibrant academic atmosphere. Nearby, you’ll find the statue of Cosimo I de’ Medici, symbolizing his power and the history of the Order. A short stroll from the Leaning Tower, this lesser-known gem provides a fascinating glimpse into Renaissance art, politics, and local culture, making it an essential stop in Pisa.
