Pisa - S. Croce In Fossabanda


Yes it may look like a nunnery or a monastery but now it's a hotel !!

A former convert for Dominican nuns and at one time made over to Franciscans this is a very very old building . It's also been quarantine hospital but in 2000 the work was started to convert it into a hotel.



Very convenient for the city centre - it's a hotel I can recommend ..
