The Santo Sepolcro in Pisa, Italy, is a unique and historically significant church known for its distinctive architecture and historical relevance. Constructed in the 12th century, this octagonal church is believed to have been inspired by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Its design, featuring a central plan with eight sides and a conical roof, reflects the influence of the Crusades and the Knights Templar, who are thought to have been involved in its foundation. The interior of the church is relatively austere, in keeping with its medieval origins, but it holds a serene and contemplative atmosphere.
