The area of Stampace district was already inhabited in the roman era.
The district was built by the Pisans around the middle of 1200.
This district was enclosed by walls, towers and gates.
They cannot be seen today as they were demolished around the middle of 1800.

The district was inhabited by merchants, artisans and business owners.
Today Stampace district is divided like this:
