Field of Miralces
Romulus and Remulus
At the Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles), in the corner behind the Cathedral (Duomo) and the Torre Pendente (Leaning Tower), there you can see a Roman monument, a statue on a pillar. It is the well known statue of Romulus and Remulus which are fed by a she-wolf.
This is/was kind of symbol for the Roman Empire. This statue was placed here to show that Pisa belonged to the Roman Empire.
Here is a link to the story of Romulus and Remulus.

Campo dei Miracoli
Here's a guide to the Duomo (cathedral) complex: The dome building at left center is the Bapistry.
The duomo is immediately to the right, and the campanile (bell tower) just behind that. The gray rectangle with the open center to the left is the Camposanto (cemetery).
