Santa Marta

Santa Marta is a baroque church in Pisa with a yellow facade shaped by strong pilasters and decorated capitals. The interior holds an organ and choir seating with structural elements that reflect the layout of a typical smaller parish church.

Construction began in 1760 under architects Mattia Tarocchi and Andrea Vaccà and was completed in 1767 following baroque principles. This period marked a phase when Pisa expanded its religious buildings across the city.

The interior displays local craftsmanship that becomes evident as soon as you enter the space. The organ and choir furnishings bear the mark of artisans who shaped the character of this room.

The building is located in the San Francesco district along its namesake street and can be reached from Via Garibaldi or the Fortezza bridge. Access is possible from several directions, which helps with navigation in the area.

A Crucifixion painting with scenes from the Passion by the Pisan school of the 13th century is preserved here and demonstrates the city's long artistic connection. This work links the interior space to Pisa's earlier religious art tradition.
