Church of Santa Maria della Spina in Pisa
About
At first glance, the Santa Maria della Spina church seems so small that it could fit in the palm of your hand. The church is unique for its exterior decoration of colored marble and its unusual Gothic style. For these and many other merits, locals have dubbed the church one of the most outstanding in all of Europe.
The building of the Santa Maria della Spina Church has triangular projections, gables, and even treasure chests, surrounded by mosaics and biblical statues. The facade is divided into two parts with separate niches for Christ and the Holy Mary with the infant in her arms. The church is active, so it's often possible to attend a mass and become part of a great mystery.

A small church on the river. We didn't stay long, but great spot to walk past.
