Classic Tuscan cathedral with a crypt under the sanctuary. Stunning vault.

The church is lying in the middle of a small square with a very nice atmosphere. Looked like we were the only tourists here but maybe that's why it's so calm and we had our best gelato here.

Yoy could spen days her3. So much to see and amazing dhops and galleries.

Pietrasanta is a surprising small town, and this is a surprisingly interesting cathedral particularly for it's opulent interior that reflects the area's history and for the unfinished but intriguing bell tower. Venture into the dark interior of the cathedral and the further you walk, the light brightens, the rose window is revealed, and suddenly you recognize the enormous amount of detail in this out-of-the-way site. The Duomo is a site on the Via Francigena. While here, go around the corner to visit the jewel of a baptistry also.

Wonderful cathedral with wonderful paintings and marble pulpit inside.

Beautiful church to visit, sadly spoilt by jobs worth who instead of concentrating on his spiritual life was fixated on my shoulders. Seriously in this day and age!

It is located in the center of Pietrasanta, a city of art, with walking through it you can appreciate how they preserve the culture and there are plenty of picturesque places to sit and have an aperitif, between the Apuan Alps, the sea, the marble and the buildings full of history.

Very interesting museum, it is for free and they have amazing events in the evening!

Beautiful Museum and heart of DAP festival!! Come visit!

(Translated by Google) Pietrasanta, known as "Little Athens," is a cultural center. Here, in the Piazza del Duomo or at the former Augustinian Convent, exhibitions of artists, some of whom are world-renowned, often take place. These artists, among other things, have studios here in Pietrasanta, where they conceive, develop, and create their art. Then came the problem of where to store the sketches and preparatory models, and Pietrasanta solved it... with the Sketches Museum. It was 1984, and from an idea by Jette Mühlendorph, the "Pierluigi Gherardi" Sketches Museum was established in the former Augustinian Convent. Here, approximately 350 artists, including Fernando Botero; Pietro Cascella; Igor Mitoraj; Giò Pomodoro; and Giuliano Vangi (just to name a few... the first that come to mind) have left behind their ideas in the form of sketches and models. Moreover, as in all the city's museums, it is a museum where it is not necessary to pay an entrance fee... because in "Little Athens" art is a gift to the community that is found, not only in the museums, but also in the squares and on the roundabouts of the city. (Original) Pietrasanta, conosciuta come la "Piccola Atene", è centro di cultura. Qui, spesso, in Piazza del Duomo o presso l'Ex Convento Agostiniano rassegne di artisti anche famosi nel Mondo di arte moderna. Artisti, tra l'altro, che qui a Pietrasanta hanno bottega ed è sempre qui che pensano, sviluppano e realizzano la propria arte. Poi nasce il problema di dove conservare i bozzetti e i modelli preparatori e Pietrasanta l'ha risolto ... con il Museo dei Bozzetti. Era il 1984 e da un'idea di Jette Muhlendorph si concretizza, negli spazzi dell'Ex Convento Agostiniano, il Museo dei Bozzetti "Pierluigi Gherardi". Qui circa 350 artisti, tra cui Fernando Botero; Pietro Cascella; Igor Mitoraj; Giò Pomodoro; Giuliano Vangi (solo per nominare qualche nome ... i primi che mi vengono alla mente) hanno lasciato in dono sottoforma di bozzetti e modelli, le loro idee. Tra l'altro, come in tutti i Musei della Citta, è un Museo dove non è necessario pagare un biglietto ... perché nella "Piccola Atene" l'arte è un dono alla collettività che si trova, oltre nei Musei, nelle Piazze e sulle rotonde della Città.

It was closed on Sunday! It's a churchhh!!!

(Translated by Google) The most important church in Versilia, built near the Via Francigena. In this place, once upon a time, there was a Roman necropolis and a pagan temple, later replaced by a small church from the 5th century AD, also documented in a charter from 855 AD. The latter construction was probably destroyed during the barbarian invasions and rebuilt around the 11th century, as evidenced by the tuff walls and some decorative elements. It was then enlarged and other changes took place between 1400 and 1600, such as the addition of the bell tower. (Original) La più importante chiesa della Versilia, sorta presso la Via Francigena. In questo luogo, un tempo, si trovava una necropoli romana e un tempio pagano, poi sostituito da una piccola chiesa del V secolo d.C., testimoniata anche in una carta dell'855 d.C. Quest'ultima costruzione fu probabilmente distrutta durante le invasioni barbariche e ricostruita intorno all'XI secolo, come testimoniano le pareti in tufo e alcuni elementi decorativi. Fu poi ampliata e altri i terventi si ebbero tra 1400 e 1600, come l'aggiunta del campanile.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting place of worship located on the left of the road that leads to the birthplace of the poet Carducci. I was there in the late afternoon, and it was only open because there was a wedding taking place, so I don't know the opening hours. Worth a visit if you are in the area. There is nice parking in front of and along the church. (Original) Luogo di culto molto interessante situato sulla sinistra della strada che porta al paese natale del poeta Carducci. Io ci sono stata nel tardo pomeriggio, ed era aperto esclusivamente perché c'era un matrimonio in corso, per cui non conosco gli orari di apertura. Da visitare se ci si trova in zona. C'è un bel parcheggio davanti e lungo la chiesa.
