The Leaning Tower of Pisa
Famous for the dangerous-looking tilt, which doesn't always improve a photograph's look.
Campo Santo
Camposanto Monumentale or Camposanto Vecchio is a cemetery, built in the 11th century besides the Cathedral.
Cathedral at night
It's almost impossible to make a good photograph during daytime. To rid yourself of the touristic hordes you need to come back at night and use a long exposure time.

The fortress Cittadella Nuova is on the left. The background is made up by the Apuan Alps, good for some hiking and a target on my list.
