Ein durchaus interessantes Gebäude. Romanische Wurzeln. Das Dach ohne Boden mit Sicht auf den Dachstuhl und die Ziegel, das ist außergewöhnlich. Mir scheint, das Gebäude dient heute eher weltlichen Zwecken, als Ausstellungsfläche. Bin auf die Lösung gespannt.
Die Präsentation als 360+-Pano finde ich passend. Die Dame, die mal da ist und mal nicht sorgt hier für etwas Irritation. Den Schnitt rechts würde ich ein paar Pixel vorher setzen und nicht mit dem kleinen Mauerrest der neuen Wand abschließen.

Die dann rechts erscheinende Dame sollte etwas "Dynamik" ins Bild bringen.

yes, Egypt and Alessandria (a tip for the audience)
I was reading a comment about the interieur of this church.
Some one said it is a church for the believers not for the tourists. But I found its way...
I know the church quite well. Few tourists visit it. Only experienced tourists.
But the church is very nice and is known for its perfect acoustics, which made it very suitable for preaching in the past and now makes it ideal for concerts :-)
Für mich eine gelungene und spannende Präsentation - Du hattest mich neugierig gemacht und dank der Hinweise und Deiner Schwerpunkte bin ich doch tatsächlich fündig geworden ... wohl wirklich ein Ort zum Innehalten, abseits des Trubels um den "Turm" ;-) !!
The first time I visited the church, I did so for a rather unusual reason: I was curious to see a church dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
It struck me as very odd that a church in Pisa would be dedicated to an Egyptian saint.
In Italy, everyone knows Saint Catherine of Siena—one of the most famous saints—but as I am no expert on the subject, I had been unaware of the existence of a Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
I expected to find a rather uninteresting church; instead, to my surprise, I discovered a truly beautiful one. It still serves its religious function but is also used for concerts, thanks to its excellent acoustics.
I later learned that there was nothing strange about the saint having been born in Egypt, since the country was part of the Roman Empire during her lifetime.
Saint Catherine of Alexandria led me to refresh my knowledge about the Roman Empire with its province Aegyptus ...
All probably started with Ptolemaios, followed by Gaius Julius Caesar and Kleopatra, by studying my Asterix library ... :-)
A remarkable painting exists of her, done by Caravaggio (I think it is about her Martyr)
Thanks, Hans-Jürgen, for showing this remarkable place, and thanks, Giuseppe, for pointing out the context. Just learned that this St Catherine is also giving her name to the famous monastery on Mt Sinai. So, I guess, we need next a panorama of St Catherines Cathedral IN Alexandria (which is much younger than the chiúrch here)...
Cheers, Martin

The church has a certain connection to Egypt.
