The Tuscany region is one of Italy's most popular destinations. Pisa and its neighbouring towns may be quite small by modern standards, but they hold a wealth of art treasures and utterly stunning historic monuments between them that many modern cities would be envious of.

After the splendours - and tourist crowds in summer - of Pisa, one can hop into the rental car and head out to the town of Calci, a 19 km drive to the east of Pisa. It was once home to a Carthusian monastery, which is today referred to as the Calci Charterhouse and part of the University. It houses a great natural history collection, including the largest collection of whale bones in Europe. The medieval town is a pleasant place to while away a few hours, admire the Romanesque parish church or scramble up on the steep slope of the Monte Verucca for a better view of the town.

The Certosa di Calci Monastery lies just outside of Calci and ranks as one of Italy's largest and historically most interesting Carthusian monasteries. It was founded in 1366, but has undergone a number of alterations over the centuries, most notably in the 19th century, when the present day façade was added. The whole complex is enormous, featuring chapels and cloisters, outbuildings and various other houses. Some of the chapels contain lovely frescoes. Visitors can join a guided tour, which is recommended, given the size of the complex and its interesting history.
