The Tuscan landscape is mainly mountainous and hilly, stretching over the slope of the Apennines and across a flat area (the Maremma) to the Tyrrhenian sea. Tuscany is unrivalled as a cradle of art. One can find examples of every age and style: from the Etruscan civilisation to Roman monuments and ruins; from the Romanesque architecture to the impressive Gothic cathedrals, to the exceptional artistic explosion of the Renaissance. Florence has preserved its masterpieces and great works of architecture over the centuries. The most important collection of paintings in the world is offered by the city's Uffizi Gallery, while there are 15th century shops on the Ponte Vecchio. Siena is another well-preserved medieval city, boasting the beautiful Piazza del Campo. Pisa has the Campo dei Miracoli, with the famous Leaning Tower. In addition to art, Tuscany offers scenes of outstanding natural beauty.
