Cappella Aulla, Religious chapel in Campo Santo cemetery, Pisa, Italy

The Cappella Aulla stands along the northern wall of Campo Santo, featuring a dedicated altar and intricate architectural elements from different periods.

The chapel contains an altarpiece created by Giovanni della Robbia in 1518, which was initially housed in the Church of San Marco in Calcesana.

The altar decoration displays the Virgin Mary's Assumption among saints and prophets, executed in glazed terracotta with gold leaf embellishments.

Visitors can find the chapel on the right side of Campo Santo's northern wall, near a former entrance that is currently closed.

A ceiling lamp from the cathedral hangs inside the chapel, which according to local accounts influenced Galileo Galilei's pendulum motion studies.
