San Pellegrino alla Sapienza, Gothic church in central Siena, Italy

The San Pellegrino alla Sapienza church stands at the intersection of via della Sapienza and via delle Terme, opposite the Teatro dei Rozzi.

Documentation reveals the presence of a parish church dedicated to San Pellegrino at this location since 1050, followed by a hospital establishment in 1240.

Six statues of Sienese saints occupy wall niches inside the church, while the ceiling displays frescoes depicting stories from the Life of Mary.

The church functions as an Orthodox place of worship under the name Sant'Anastasia, requiring visitors to verify opening hours before planning their visit.

The interior houses a 14th-century ivory triptych and an icon of the Madonna di Monteguaitano, transferred from the church of Maria Santissima del Rosario.
