PISA, ITALY

Piazza del Duomo or otherwise known as Piazza dei Miracoli, a moniker it owes to the Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987 and deservedly so.

When I first saw it at sunset, the green lawn appeared as a theatre stage and the exquisite group of buildings in the middle of it – some very elaborate set design. It all looked unreal and the buildings – so delicate as if made of porcelain. And yet they have withstood the vagaries of time, which in itself is a miracle!
