Santa Maria in Ripalta, Pistoia

Santa Maria in Ripalta is a Renaissance-style, former church located in Via San Giuliano in Pistoia, region of Tuscany, Italy.

The church derived its name from a gate in the city walls through which Uguccione della Faggiola tried to overcome Pistoia during a siege.

The church once had a venerated processional crucifix carried in town in 1399 during the Bianchi processions, a popular religious revival.

In 1554, the adjacent Canon's residence housed monks that had fled from Montecatini Terme to escape capture by Piero Strozzi.

A Romanesque-era fresco depicting Christ Pantocrator has been uncovered during restoration.
