The church is described by the city as a jewel of Pisan Gothic. It stands low on the river wall, with pinnacles, small statues and carved panels all over the marble front. It is often used for art exhibitions, and visits depend on what is on. The interior is small, so the stop is short.

What to look for

  • Pinnacles and statues on the facade
  • Its position on the river quay
  • Exhibitions held inside

Tip

Even if the doors are closed, the outside is worth a look from the quay, especially at the end of the day.
