f	fabio petrotto on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Splendido esempio di romanico antico, anche se ultimamente restaurato in freddo "stile sovrintendenza", conserva inalterato il suo fascino. Sembra di entrare in una splendida chiesa di campagna, ma nel pieno centro cittadino della splendida e barocca Naro (Ag) A splendid example of ancient Roman, but lately restored in the cold "style superintendence", keeps intact its charm. It seems to enter a splendid country church, but right in the city center of the splendid and baroque Naro (Ag)
D	Debi Slinger on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the sweetest church from the outside, but wow, when you enter it's enormous - and mostly empty. Historically, it is mentioned for the first time in 1211, then associated with a hospital. The current edifice was built between 1251 and 1300, commissioned by Saint Dominic himself, and entrusted to the friars of his order The church is known from the early XIII century, but structure now visible and the convent were built after a grant to the Dominicans. The facade, completed in the first half of the XIV century is decorated with marble in bi-colored bands and several orders of arches; busts of saints frame the rose window. In 1320, Simone Martini executed for this church the Saint Catherine of Alexandria Polyptych, one of his best known works. The painting has been moved to the San Matteo Museum in Pisa. We were blessed that a man was playing the organ while there which made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. That along with the crypts we found it a cool respite from the sun but also a touching experience. Wheelchair friendly.
