San Michele degli Scalzi, Romanesque church in Pisa, Italy

The church features a marble facade with three doorways, five dead arches resting on columns with Corinthian capitals, and decorative circular patterns.

The original structure from 1025 was rebuilt between 1152 and 1171 for the Pulsanese Benedictines, who walked barefoot and gave the church its name.

The central portal displays a replica of the Christ Blessing and a Hierarchy of Angels from the early 13th century, with the original now in San Matteo Museum.

The church welcomes visitors Monday through Thursday from 8:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 16:45, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday until 18:00.

The square bell tower of San Michele degli Scalzi stands as the third leaning tower of Pisa, tilting toward the river due to ground subsidence.
