Certosa di Pisa

Close to Calci, 14km/9mi to the east, is the Certosa di Pisa, a Carthusian house founded in 1366. The present aspect of the extensive complex of buildings results from the remodeling in Baroque style which was carried out in the 17th and 18th century. Visitors can be shown round the monastery only on conducted tours. The main features of interest are the two cloisters (15th and 16th centuries) and the church, in pure Baroque style.
