San Giovanni Fuoricivitas, Romanesque church in Pistoia, Italy
The northern wall of San Giovanni Fuoricivitas features white marble and green serpentine stone from Prato, creating horizontal patterns along the exterior facade.
The church construction started in the 12th century on a site previously occupied by a Lombard religious building, located outside the original medieval city walls.
The central portal displays an architrave created by Gruamonte in 1166, depicting the Last Supper through intricate marble carvings and detailed craftsmanship.
Visitors can observe Luca della Robbia's glazed terracotta statues, Giovanni Pisano's marble holy water font, and Taddeo Gaddi's polyptych inside the church.
The cloister remains the only example in Pistoia of a Romanesque structure combining stone and brickwork, with columns decorated with lion and ox head capitals.
