The
monumental façade of the Charterhouse
of Calci; monks used to live there
till 1972
The
monumental monastery of Calci, just
10 kms from Pisa, was founded in
1366 by Carthusian monks.
Due to a Napoleonic bill it was closed
in 1808 but monks still lived there
till 1972. Its central nave and its
marble façade are marvellous
examples of local 17th century Baroque.
In the huge monumental building it
is possible to visit the church, the
cloister and some cells. One of the
two wings of the monastery is now
hosting the Museum of Natural History
of the University of Pisa.
Rates
include a visit to the Carthusian
Monastery in Calci and a personal
English speaking tour leader (on request
also German, Spanish, French, Italian
or Russian available). Transportation
is not included.
If you wish a car
with personal chauffeur
please specify it in the booking
form.
