The Little Church
Santa Maria della Spina is a little church next to the Arno River at the base of Via Sant'Antonio. "Della Spina" means "of the thorn" and is a reference to the crown of thorns on the head of Jesus during the crucifixion. This small Gothic church was built in 1230. The brownish building behind the roof of the church contains the apartment where I stayed while I was in Pisa.
