The Piazza dei Miracoli ( Italian Square of Miracles ), as the Piazza del Duomo is popularly called, is the cathedral square of the Tuscan city of Pisa . The name comes from the Italian poet and writer Gabriele D'Annunzio . In his book Forse che sì forse che no he described the square as a meadow of miracles. The Piazza dei Miracoli is a green area near the city fortifications in the northwestern part of the old town. The decentralized location on the edge of the historic city center is unusual.
