Santa Caterina da Siena, Baroque Roman Catholic church in Venezia Nuova district, Livorno, Italy.

The church features an octagonal dome rising 63 meters high, with a lantern tower positioned above an unfinished rectangular base structure.

Giovanni Del Fantasia initiated the church construction in 1720, leading to its consecration in 1753, while the lantern tower completion occurred in 1869.

The interior displays significant artworks, including Giorgio Vasari's Coronation of Mary canvas and frescoes of the Evangelists by Cesare Maffei.

The church stands opposite Piazza dei Domenicani, serving as a religious center within the canal network of Livorno's historical district.

During Napoleon's rule, the building temporarily functioned as a prison before returning to its religious purpose in 1822.
