Santa Cristina

The church features a single nave layout with neoclassical decorations and houses a 14th-century panel depicting Madonna and Child on its walls.

First documented in the 9th century, Santa Cristina was destroyed by a flood in 1115 and reconstructed in 1118 with funding from local nobility.

The church contains a canvas by Domenico Passignano showing Saint Catherine receiving the stigmata, alongside a 19th-century copy of a historic crucifix.

Located 900 meters from Pisa Centrale railway station, the church is accessible through multiple bus lines stopping at nearby Gambacorti station.

In 1375, Saint Catherine of Siena received the stigmata while praying before the original crucifix that was formerly displayed in this church.
