Basilica of Our Lady of Humility, Minor basilica in Pistoia, Italy.
The octagonal Renaissance basilica features a 59-meter-high red-tiled dome and contains a 14th-century fresco of the Madonna on its main altar.
Construction began in 1495 under architect Ventura Vitoni, with Giorgio Vasari later completing the dome in 1563 under commission from Grand Duke Cosimo I Medici.
The basilica houses numerous paintings by Italian masters, including Giovanni Domenico Piastrini, Niccola Monti, and Francesco Vanni, documented in an 1821 inventory.
The church maintains regular visiting hours from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, allowing visitors to explore its architectural features and religious artifacts.
The structure stands on the site of the former Santa Maria Forisportae church, which was located outside the medieval walls of Pistoia.
