Santa Croce in Fossabanda, Medieval convent and church in Pisa, Italy
The Santa Croce complex includes a church with a single hall divided by cross vaults and a large cloister with Renaissance architectural elements.
Founded in 1324 on a thirteenth-century structure, the complex underwent reconstruction by Bartolomeo da Cantone and transferred to Franciscan order in 1426.
The church displays the Enthroned Madonna with musician angels, created by Portuguese artist Alvaro Pirez di Evora in the fifteenth century.
The complex stands at Piazza Santa Croce in Fossabanda 1-12, near multiple dining establishments and accommodation options in Pisa.
The name Fossabanda originates from an eleventh-century drainage canal commissioned by Bando to improve the formerly marshy terrain.
