Pisa's Santa Maria della Spina Church
If you've visited Pisa, you'll probably arrived by train, and after you've had been to one or several major cities.
This chuch is located midway beetween Pisa's train station and the area of the Duomo and Tower, and appears quite suddenly after walking narrow streets. Personally I thought is was gorgeous albeit LOL-worthy. It's like it is the Doumo of Milan but for little mice.
Thoughts?

10 years of mass immigration has pretty much ruined the Italian charm of Pisa.

Reminds me somewhat of Santa Maria dei Miracoli in Venice, not in style, but in position and cuteness.

Why does the Santa Maria della Spina Church have TWO front doors?

It looks cute in pics but totally underwhelming in real life. It reminded me of a glorified garage. Actually, the whole old town of Pisa (minus the cathedral) is ugly as fuck. Many guide books say it's one of the hidden jewels of Italy (because most tourist never bother exploring its streets) but it's an utterly charmless place with a weird creepy vibe to it.

I love both of those churches. I've been to the little one in Venice at R4 and it truly is wonderful.
