Pisa, Field of Miracles, Italy.

 Still snowed in, and thinking about summer sun and holidays.

Possibly the best tourist attraction in the world is, in my mind, the Field of Miracles in Pisa. Normally when you visit these places you have heard about and seen on tv they never live up to the hype. Pisa, and the Leaning Tower, and the Field of Miracles where the tower is,  is the opposite. It was so staggeringly beautiful that I actually cried.

Every aspect of the buildings in the Field of Miracles is so intricate and ornate. The doors as you enter the duomo in particular were striking. In one of the panals you see the devil being cast out of heaven, and his wings are so detailed and real looking you expect them to be soft to touch.

If you ever get the chance to visit Pisa do spend at least one day just in the Field of Miracles.
