Cittadella Galileiana
Museum | Pisa | Tuscany | Italy
The "Cittadella Galileiana" in Pisa is a modern science center dedicated to promoting science and technology. It is located in the historical buildings of the former public slaughterhouses of Pisa, which were built at the end of the 19th century.

The center houses various facilities, including the "Museo degli Strumenti per il Calcolo", which documents the history of calculating machines and computing. Another highlight is the "Ludoteca Scientifica", a scientific playroom that introduces children and adults to the world of science in a playful way.
The "Cittadella Galileiana" serves as a meeting point for scientists, students, and the general public to exchange information and stay informed about current scientific developments. It promotes collaboration between different institutions and companies in the high-technology sector and provides space for innovative projects and events.
By combining historical architecture with modern scientific facilities, the "Cittadella Galileiana" makes a significant contribution to the promotion of science and technology in Pisa and beyond.
