San Paolo, Pistoia

San Paolo is a Roman Catholic church located on Via della Rosa #39 in Pistoia, region of Tuscany, Italy.

The first church at the site, built during the age of Lombard rule in 748, was a smaller temple, occupying the area of the presbytery, with an apse in the east.

The exterior is characterized by a typical Tuscan blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles, with a polychrome decoration of the façade.

The main altar has an Enthroned Madonna and Child and Saints Catherine, Appollonia, Mary Magdalen, Agnes, Paul, John the Baptist, Dominic, and others by Fra Paolino.

Many of the members of the Forteguerri family were buried here, and of the Greek and Latin scholar Scipione Carteromaco (died 1515).
