National Museum of San Matteo, which is housed in the Benedictine Monastery, features a group of paintings from the 12th- to 18th- centuries, and a rich collection of sculpture from the Pisano School.

We were blown away by this small unimposing museum. We spend a great deal of time in Italy searching out older pieces of art and were amazed to find such a great collection at the national Museum of San Matteo. Whereas you might see the occasional 13th century crucifix, here they have a whole room of them. I cannot recommend this museum enough!

Located on the bank of the Arno River, this church is Pisa's finest example of Gothic fancy.

This beautiful Pisan gothic church, which reportedly had one of the thorns of Jesus crown, was moved from a lower level by the river to its current location, just overlooking the river. At sunset, the sunlight enters through the coloured glass windows for a truly magnificent effect.

This is a real gem that you cannot miss to visit. Even after all that we managed to see in Florence, Lucca and Pisa this church impresses you much as it is a fine and very well preserved example of authentic Romanesque architecture. It breathes with history, also given the fact that, according to the legend, the church was built on the place where apostle Peter supposedly entered Pisa port (that was located here at this time) on his way from Antiochia. Better come here in the morning, when there are no people here, weather is not hot and the sun is low, allowing you to make beautiful detailed photographs of the church facade and stonework. If you are familiar with the history of Medieval Art and architecture this is the absolutely necessary place to visit. Only beware, that information that states that the church opens 8 a.m. is not correct, on our visit there 11th August 2018 the open time was 9 a.m. The journey can be combined with journey to Pisa if you are inhabiting the coastal area using the regular 90-minutes bus ticket (you exist the bus on the stop near the church, see the church and enter the following bus, your ticket still valid).
7. Chiesa di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria

The Gothic church was built in the second half of the 13th century, ordered by Saint Dominic for the friars of his order. It has a magnificent facade made of white and grey marble with Gothic loggias and the central rose window in the upper part. The interior was renovated in the 18th century, after a fire, and hosts several very interesting paintings and sculptures, worth visiting.
