San Pier Maggiore, Pistoia, Former church in Pistoia, Italy.
The exterior facade of San Pier Maggiore displays five compartments with bichrome decorations and polychrome elements on the ground floor section.
The initial structure dates back to 798, established by a Lombard patron, and underwent significant restoration in 1263, defining its Romanesque characteristics.
The central portal features an architrave from Guido da Como's workshop, depicting Jesus presenting keys to Saint Peter alongside the Virgin and Apostles.
The former religious building now functions as the Liceo Artistico Petrocchi, a State Institute of Arts, maintaining its educational significance.
New bishops of Pistoia traditionally participated in a ceremonial marriage ritual at this church before assuming their position at the cathedral.
