Costruita dagli invasori fiornetini per controllare la navigazione del arno, prima si chiamava torre guelfa, pisa era ghibellina

La Cittadella e l'Arsenale Repubblicano di Pisa sono due importanti complessi storici che riflettono il passato marittimo e militare della città. Cittadella Origini e storia: La Cittadella di Pisa fu costruita nel XVI secolo come fortezza per difendere la città, specialmente durante le guerre contro i Turchi e i conflitti con gli stati vicini. Architettura: La struttura presenta elementi tipici delle fortificazioni rinascimentali, con mura possenti e una pianta a forma di stella, caratteristica delle fortificazioni dell'epoca. Funzione: Oltre alla funzione difensiva, la Cittadella ospitava unità militari e aveva un ruolo strategico anche nel controllo del territorio circostante.

Ruiny zamku na które można sobie wejść i zrobić ciekawe zdjęcia. Na wieże brak dostępu. Ciekawe położenie wzdłuż rzeki sprawia że miejsce jest niezwykle malownicze.
