Collegiate Church of San Cristoforo, Barga

The church was built with white marble from the quarries near the town, and sited on a hilltop acropolis.

The main Romanesque portal has two semi-columns with carved lion capitals; above is an arch and decorations with leaf motifs.

The characters are also seen in a block in the Baptistry opposite the Duomo of Pisa as well as other churches in Tuscany.

The pulpit is carved with scenes from both the Old and New Testaments, and two support columns have lion bases.

[1] At the start of the 20th century, the church had canvases attributed to Santi di Tito, Giovanni Roselli, and Stefano Tofanelli.
