Chiesa di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria
Chiesa di Santa Caterina d’Alessandria is one of Pisa’s most graceful Gothic landmarks, rising at the edge of Piazza Santa Caterina. First mentioned in 1211, it was rebuilt between 1251 and 1300 under the guidance of the Dominican Order. Its striking façade, completed in 1326, features white and grey marble, pointed arches, two tiers of delicate loggias, and a central rose window that was reconstructed in 1927Comune di Pisa - Turismo. Inside, the single vast nave—reshaped after a 1651 fire—houses remarkable artworks, including the sarcophagus of Archbishop Saltarelli by Andrea Pisano and the monumental Triumph of St Thomas Aquinas by Francesco Traini. The church’s serene proportions and luminous interior reflect centuries of devotion, making Santa Caterina a refined and contemplative stop within Pisa’s historic centre.
