Sant'Andrea Forisportam, Romanesque church in Pisa, Italy.

The structure presents three entrances under architraves with round supporting arches and four dead arches separated by pilasters featuring round windows and rhombs.

First documented in 1104, the church remained a parish until 1839 when it was deconsecrated and initially planned for conversion into a fish market.

The interior contains six pillars with capitals, including four from Roman structures and two from Biduino's workshop representing Romanesque architectural elements.

Located at 43.71625 latitude and 10.40578 longitude, the building currently functions as Teatro Sant'Andrea, hosting theatrical performances throughout the year.

The eaves display replicas of 12th-century ceramic basins, with the original Islamic pieces now exhibited at the Museum of San Matteo in Pisa.
