Collegiata di Sant'Andrea, Collegiate church in Empoli, Italy.
The Collegiata di Sant'Andrea displays marble decorations combining white marble and green serpentine elements on its Romanesque facade, featuring five blind arcades and geometric panels.
The Latin inscription above the first string-course cornice dates the church's commission to 1093, while the facade's marble decorations were completed between 1140 and 1150.
The church holds regular concerts named 'Concerti di Sant'Andrea', connecting religious heritage with musical performances in the Tuscan architectural setting.
The building underwent substantial reconstruction in 1803 under Carlo del Re, including raising the roof by three meters and adding new rectangular panel arrangements.
This collegiate church remains the only structure in the Florentine countryside featuring marble decorations in the Florentine Romanesque style, marking its special status.
