By day a monument from which to admire the city, by night an urban ecological corridor, the Walls are home to a great variety of flora and fauna: at sunset geckos, bats, beech martens, foxes and birds of prey populate the Walls in search of prey.

On Saturday 31 August 2024, the Natural History Museum, in collaboration with CoopCulture, Cooperativa Itinera and Promocultura, the association of companies that manages the high-altitude walkway of the Ancient Walls of Pisa, is organising a nature excursion dedicated to the natural or semi-natural micro-environments along the Walls that offer refuges and food resources to many species of animals. The novelty of the nocturnal edition will offer greater immersion in the natural world and offer a suggestive view of the illuminated city.
