Lonely Planet review

This gem of a church, Chiesa di Santa Maria della Spina, is a fine architectural example of Pisan-Gothic. It was built in the early 14th century to house a thorn from Christ's crown and is refreshingly intimate after the heavyweights of Piazza dei Miracoli. Its ornately spired exterior cluttered with tabernacles and statues exudes richness but the interior is simple. Highlight: Andrea and Nino Pisano Madonna of the Rose , a masterpiece of Gothic sculpture.
