Santa Maria della Spina
Santa Maria della Spina, Gothic church on Arno riverbank, Pisa, Italy
The Santa Maria della Spina exhibits a rectangular ground plan with polychrome marble bands and intricate Gothic sculptural decorations along its exterior walls.
The church received its name in 1333 after obtaining a precious relic believed to be a thorn from the crown worn by Christ during the crucifixion.
The facade features two gates with lintelled arches and houses the Madonna of the Rose, a significant Gothic sculpture by Andrea and Nino Pisano.
The church opens from March through October on Tuesday to Friday between 10:30 and 13:30, then 14:30 to 18:00, with extended weekend hours.
In 1871, engineers dismantled and reconstructed the entire church one meter higher due to water infiltration problems from the adjacent Arno River.
