Pisa - Cappella di Sant'Agata

15 Jun 2015 2 1 306
Just behind San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno (previous upload) is the small Cappella di Sant'Agata, erected from bricks by the monks of the convent around 1063, but the first written attestation is from 1132. If the octagonal chapel with the pointed roof, would have been used as a baptistery, it would have been built opposite the main portal of the basilica - and not in the "backyard". Upto the end of WWII the Cappella di Sant'Agata was surrounded by a cloister.
