Santa Maria Assunta

The Santa Maria Assunta church exhibits a Latin cross layout with a central nave, two side aisles, and raised lancet arches throughout the structure.

The construction of this religious edifice commenced in 1063 under architect Buscheto and received its consecration ceremony in 1118 as Santa Maria Maggiore.

The interior marble work displays alternating black and white patterns, reflecting the architectural preferences and craftsmanship methods of medieval Tuscan builders.

The church maintains regular hours for religious services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements and religious artifacts throughout the week.

A specialized lighting system marks the Pisan new year on March 25 when sunlight enters through a specific window to illuminate a designated spot.
