Santo Sepolcro, Romanesque church in Pisa, Italy
The Santo Sepolcro church features an octagonal structure with eight ogival arches supporting a central tambour topped by a conic spire.
The church, first documented in 1138, was constructed by architect Diotisalvi and drew inspiration from the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem.
The building incorporates the symbolic number eight throughout its design, representing the connection between earthly squares and divine circles in Christian architecture.
The church opens daily from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM, offering free admission to visitors interested in exploring its medieval architecture.
A stone well inside the church contains a 12th-century bucket associated with Saint Ubaldesca, who served pilgrims passing through Pisa.
