Consecrated in 1874, it became a parish church in 1936 after the addition of the portico with an Ionic-style colonnade and the Evangelists in the niches of the fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interior, divided into three naves by columns with Corinthian capitals, contains a 1599 painting by Jacopo Chimenti known as l&#8217;Empoli and a 17th-century Madonna of the Snow by the painter Francesco Curradi.\r\nThe 16th-century fountain comes from the old church. The cathedral contains other works from the mid-20th century.\r\nThe <strong>bell tower<\/strong> in reinforced concrete with face brick and travertine dates back to 1958.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Church of the Misericordia<\/strong>, also on the same square, was designed by Luigi Bellincioni and completed in 1892. its central plan features a hexagonal domed terracotta roof with a lantern. Of the same style as the church is the <strong>bell tower<\/strong> occupying the south-east side. The exterior is characterised by niches and pilasters that emphasise the use of yellow and ochre.\r\nThe interior has five semicircular chapels: the walls of the first are decorated with the Stations of the Cross. On the altar on the right is the image of the <strong>venerated Madonna of Mercy<\/strong> (19th century), on the left the image of St. Anthony of Padua, patron saint of the Archconfraternity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":49276,"parent":0,"template":"","tipo-attrazione":[],"filter-who":[],"filter-time":[],"class_list":["post-52214","attrazione","type-attrazione","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":[{"locale":"it_IT","id":49274,"post_title":"Pontedera| Duomo e Chiesa della Misericordia","href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/pontedera-duomo-e-chiesa-della-misericordia\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione\/52214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attrazione"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipo-attrazione","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-attrazione?post=52214"},{"taxonomy":"filter-who","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-who?post=52214"},{"taxonomy":"filter-time","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-time?post=52214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
