Pisa Specialty Attractions

In 1998, an old Roman ship was found in the silt of one of Pisa's old harbours. This prompted more excavations, resulting in over 15 vessels dating back from 1BC to 6AD. Most of the ships found in the old Pisa port were in good condition, and contained sealed clay amphorae filled with items such as olives, walnuts and wine. These and other items such as sailor's personal possessions are on display along with some of the ships. Those interested in seeing the continual work at the excavation site must reserve a space ahead of time.
