St. Peter's Basilica in Pisa: photos, reviews

About

It is said that the Apostle Peter himself came to these lands and laid the first stone of the future church. Whether to believe it or not is a personal matter, but even today, people from all over the world flock here to venerate the holy site.

The Basilica of Saint Peter consists of three naves and two apses set opposite each other. The outer cladding is made of varicolored stone and contains pilasters with "blind" arches, which are complemented by neat Islamic plates. The bells are located inside the basilica, perfectly fitting into the Gothic interior. The walls hardly have any free space - the entire area is adorned with ancient frescoes on religious themes. Amazingly, the frescoes have been perfectly preserved, detailing the deeds of the apostles and the history of past years to tourists.

È una meravigliosa basilica romantica, eretta sul luogo in cui approdò San Pietro, quando raggiunse le nostre zone. È una Chiesa parrocchiale e non serve il biglietto per visitarla

What makes a historical building even greater? A good story. Here, acording to the legend, St. Peter stepped on the land of Italy (Roman empire back then) for the first time and built the first altar in Italy in 43AD🥲 As a reminder of that feat a church was built here in 4th century and later a basilica in 11th, which you can admire today. There are still doing some excavations in it but you can admire old architecture and frescoes. There should be a portrait of all popes till 14th century above the columns of pilars. No tickets here, but need to be creative about parking. Limited number of them.
