Misericordia, Catholic church in Pietrasanta, Italy.

The Chiesa della Misericordia stands on Via Mazzini, featuring a traditional exterior that houses remarkable frescoes within its compact interior structure.

The church, dedicated to Saint Anthony the Great and Saint Blaise, maintains its original architectural elements while incorporating modern artistic additions from the late 20th century.

Colombian artist Fernando Botero created two large panels inside the church in 1993, depicting the Gates of Paradise and Gates of Hell in his volumetric style.

Visitors can locate the church at Via Mazzini 103 in Pietrasanta, with access to nearby attractions including the Duomo di San Martino and Museo dei Bozzetti.

The Gates of Hell fresco contains a self-portrait of Fernando Botero among the depicted figures, alongside historical personalities such as Adolf Hitler.
