Chiesa di Sant'Andrea, Livorno

St. Andrea Church stands on Cistern Square where there once was a cemetery, which was abandoned after the opening of the new municipal Cemetery of the Wolves. Gaetano Gherardi is the man responsible for the architectural features of this modest church and its tower, as well as for the large seminary next door. The beautiful altar of the church is dedicated to St. Andrew, in memory of the saint's day when a fever epidemic in the town stopped. Step inside to discover the real splendor of this unpretentious church.
