San Frediano, Pisa

San Frediano is a Romanesque-style Roman Catholic church in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy.

Founded by the family Buzzaccherini-Sismondi and originally dedicated to Saint Martin, it once had a hospital annexed to it.

The Romanesque façade, dating to the early 12th-century shows some of the typical features of the Pisan Romanesque style, such as the blind arcades, the lozenges and the use of bichrome stones (present also in the city's cathedral).

The interior, despite being damaged by fire in 1675, has maintained the original basilica plan with a central nave and two aisles.

It houses a rare wooden cross painted on a gilded panel and titled the Crucifix and Histories of the Passion (12th century), several Baroque altars and a few 17th-century paintings by Ventura Salimbeni (Annunciation and Nativity), Aurelio Lomi (Adoration of the Magi), as well as frescoes by Domenico Passignano.
