Church of San Giovanni Fuorcivitas

A refined hidden church

San Giovanni Fuorcivitas is a beautiful Romanesque church in the historic centre of Pistoia. Its striped marble exterior is elegant and distinctive, yet the church often feels quieter than the city’s most famous monuments.

Inside, visitors can discover a refined sacred space with important works of art and a calm atmosphere. It is a rewarding stop for anyone who enjoys churches, sculpture and less crowded cultural places.

Because it is close to the main streets, it can easily be added to a walking itinerary between Piazza del Duomo and the eastern side of the centre.
