Alongside the leaning tower of Pisa (bell tower), there are four additional historic sites which make up the Camp dei Miracoli or Piazza dei Miracoli which translates in English to the Field of Miracles.
The first building constructed at Campo dei Miracoli, Pisa, was the cathedral, or Duomo di Pisa, which rests on a white marble pavement and is an impressive example of Romanesque architecture.
The next building that was constructed was the baptistery just west of the dome.
The last historic site in the Piazza dei Miracolis is the cemetery, Campo Santo.
" The Campo Santo,cemetery, is a gracefully elongated cloister enclosing a burial ground with earth reputedly brought back during the Crusades from Golgotha." ( http://www.towerofpisa.org/)
