Top destination around Piazza dei Miracoli - Pisa

The holiday is opened with a grand parade which is followed then with the main entertaining event of the day being a boat race. The regatta is an impressive and rather emotional event which will be of great interest for all tourists and city guests. The name of the patron saint is associated with another bright festival which is the Luminara di San Ranieri which is celebrated a day prior to the Palio di San Ranieri on 16th of June. The holiday was established in the middle of the 17th century. In the course of its history the event has been sufficiently changed and today a single day is not enough for holding of all the planned events of the holiday.

On the festive day all the churches, cathedrals and temples of the city are decorated with a specially chosen system of illumination. Nice lanterns and lamps can be seen on the houses of local folks as well. The Tower of Pisa being the main symbol of the city gets its luxurious illuminating decoration too. The landmark looks fantastic in the bright lights of the decoration. At nightfall city residents set off to the bank of the river to set special small lights afloat. After the ritual large companies of people proceed to a square at the old Citadel (La Cittadella) where a great fireworks show takes place.
