Santa Cecilia, Romanesque church in central Pisa, Italy
The church features a single aisle interior with stone blocks in the lower facade and brickwork in the upper section, crowned by decorative dead archlets.
The Camaldolese monks from Saint Michael in Borgo established the church in 1102 on land provided by the Visconti family, with consecration in 1107.
The structure displays 117 ceramic basins under the eaves, around the central window, and along the belfry, representing different pottery traditions from North Africa to Italy.
The church stands at Via Santa Cecilia 2 in Pisa, with the original ceramic basins now preserved in the San Matteo Museum for protection.
The belfry from 1236 rests on three points: two exterior church walls and a single internal pillar, creating an architectural innovation for its period.
