Pisa is famous throughout the world for its Leaning Tower, which is the bell tower of its cathedral, which is just one of over twenty historic churches in the city. Due to the Leaning Tower, the city today is a major tourist destination in Italy. It experiences a Mediterranean climate with warmest temperature in July and August (upwards of 28°C/84°F) and lowest temperature in January (2°C/35.6°F).

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
