Santo Stefano alla Lizza, Gothic church in Via dei Gazzani, Siena, Italy.

The brick facade of Santo Stefano alla Lizza features a tympanum with an oculus and four pilasters, accessed by a stairway entrance.

Initially documented in the 12th century as a Romanesque structure, the church underwent complete reconstruction between 1671 and 1675 in Baroque style.

The church interior previously displayed a Madonna with Child and Saints by Andrea Vanni and scenes from Saint Stephen's life by Giovanni di Paolo.

The deconsecrated church now functions as an auditorium for meetings and concerts, with reservations available through phone or email contact.

The name Lizza refers to the adjacent square, which served as a venue for tournaments and equestrian exercises in the late 16th century.
