Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    This beautiful old church sits right next to the tower, which was built as a bell tower for the church. It’s an impressive church and the open space around it really makes it stand out to the eye.

    Basilica romanics di San Piero a Grado is a church located near Pisa, in the place, where according to the legend, St. Peter landed in Italy, so it is a very important place for Christians. Nowadays, there is not coast here, because in the last twenty centuries, the coast go to Marina di Pisa. The building is a big Roman church built in the 11-12th Centuries in the old port of Pisa. If you enter, really it is impressive. Very interesting place for history-lovers.

    This small church is located at the far end of Piazza Martiri della Liberta. The impressive Gothic facade contains numerous while marble columns with an intricately designed spoke-like focal point. The interior is sparsely decorated and cold. There are several large stained glass windows near the altar. The large paintings were quite dark in their composition, made more difficult to see with the little light inside the church. Worth a visit for quiet contemplation without distractions.

    Though much less famous, the bell tower of this lovely church leans at an even more impressive angle than it’s more famous cousin across the city. The church wasn’t open sadly, but we were able to park up and have a picnic beside the Arno, sitting on a wall. If you come to Pisa for the famous Torre, it’s worth taking a small detour to come and see this lovely place too.

    right in the center of the city, the simple and clean facade of the Church of S. Stefano, welcomes you and gives you the possibility of a quite, silent rest. If you are lucky you may find the door open and have the rare possibility of seeing the unique collection of flags belonging to moresque vessels and taken in battle by the cavaliers of st. Stefano.

    Small unassuming church on busy shopping street. Quite plain inside but with nice statues, paintings, windows and high wooden ceilings

    The church is dedicated to St. Fridianus, a hermit of Irish origin who was bishop of Lucca in the 6th century.
    It is a very ancient church (built between the eleventh and twelfth centuries) which still retains the façade in Romanesque-Pisan style.
    It is divided in three orders, and has seven blind arches that frame lozenges according to the style introduced by the architect Buscheto for the Cathedral of Pisa in Piazza dei Miracoli.
    The interior, with a basilica structure with three naves, has columns and capitals coming mostly from Roman buildings.
    In the first chapel on the left (Cappella Pesciolini) is a majestic cross, painted in tempera and gold, the Crucifix, with the stories of the Passion, by an unknown painter (12th century), which was relocated there in 2004.
    On the same side of the building is the Adoration of the Magi by Aurelio Lomi.
    A great deal of pictorial furnishings and paintings by Ventura Salimbeni from Siena ("Annunciation" and "Nativity"), Aurelio Lomi ("Adoration of the Magi"), and frescoes by Domenico Passignano and other masters connected to the Medici court are due to the sixteenth-century restructuring.
    The frescoes in the dome are by Rutilio Manetti.
    Noteworthy is the monument to the anatomist Ruschi from 1753 with a sumptuous marble decoration of skeletons.
    At the behest of the Archbishop of Pisa, the church of San Frediano is the Pisan university church and home to meetings, student associations and activities.

    The church at this location was mentioned for the first time in the 8th century and the present building was consecrated in 1118. It was built in a Romanesque style consisting of two levels, the church itself, raised above the street level and the underground part occupied by a crypt that was used later as a funerary area. The entire building is made of stone, with interesting decorations. The church is an elegant and interesting sight, worth the attention.

    Pisa isn't only the lean tower. This is another beautiful church in Pisa. A must know place to visit in Pisa.
