Church of Saint Catherine of Alexandria in Pisa
About
The Historic Center of Pisa is filled with a variety of attractions, among which is the Church of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Once, knights of the Dominican Order kneeled here, humbly waiting for the pastor's sermons. Later, the church became more "open" and started to welcome ordinary Italian citizens, distant from the vows of celibacy and fasting.
The church facade is divided into three tiers, made of gray and white marble. A large Gothic rose occupies the central position. The interior of the Church of Saint Catherine of Alexandria dazzles with luxurious columns and a gold-adorned altar. Here, one can also see ancient sarcophagi and paintings, one of which is especially popular among tourists and is titled "The Triumph of Saint Thomas".

Göttlich, ruhige und heilende Atmosphäre

Very simple on the inside, with wooden roof. Someone was playing piano and it was very peaceful.

@Timm Josef why bother writing if you aren’t gonna help honestly this church is 100 times better than the White House so shut up because no one asked you so why bother even writing my god these people. Anyway I highly Recommend going here it is a beautiful church that has a lot to offer a bit dark but still a very beautiful church
