San Jacopo in Acquaviva, Renaissance Revival church in Livorno, Italy
The San Jacopo in Acquaviva church stands along the seafront of Livorno, next to the Naval Academy, featuring a neo-Renaissance facade with an arched pediment portal.
The church, first documented in 1163, underwent several transformations, including a significant renovation between 1760 and 1762 that changed its main axis orientation.
This Italian national heritage site served as a resting point for religious travelers heading to Santiago de Compostela, connecting Italian and Spanish pilgrimage routes.
The church contains a Latin cross layout with a single nave, and visitors can access the recently restored crypt that reopened in 2011.
The name Acquaviva originated from a freshwater spring that emerged near the hermitage, although this water source is no longer visible today.
