The four major buildings - the Duomo , its Bell-tower (which almost immediately slipped to become the Leaning Tower ), the Baptistry and the monumental cemetery of the Camposanto - were built on a broad swathe of grassy lawn just within the northern walls of the city. Nowhere else in Italy are the key buildings of a city arrayed with such precision, and nowhere is there so beautiful a contrast of stonework and open meadow. However, the turf rests on highly unstable sandy soil, which accounts for the tower's lean; take a look at the baptistry and you'll see that it leans the other way from the tower. The rest of the city centre makes for some fine wandering, through alleys that have largely retained their medieval appearance. Southeast, on the river, is the Museo Nazionale di San Matteo , a fine collection of ecclesiastical art and sculpture, while west along the Arno is the lavish Palazzo Reale mansion and the city's huge Arsenale , the latter currently housing a display of items taken from ongoing excavations at the newly discovered site of Pisa's ancient harbour. One of Pisa's biggest surprises lurks in an unregarded piazza south of the river near the train station: covering one wall of an open bus station is the last-ever mural by US artist Keith Haring. The five museums and monuments in and around Campo dei Miracoli - the Duomo, Baptistry, Museo dell'Opera, Camposanto and Museo delle Sinopie - share a complicated system of ticketing . Admission to the duomo costs L3000/?1.55. Admission to any two sights costs L10,000/?5.16. Admission to any three including the duomo costs L13,000/?6.71. Admission to the four excluding the duomo costs L15,000/?7.75. Admission to all five costs L18,000/?9.30. Students pay L2000/?1.03 admission to each sight. You can get tickets only from the ticket offices at the Museo delle Sinopie, the Museo dell'Opera and the Camposanto.
