Crypt (11th-12th centuries)
Pisa's 11th-12th century crypt lies beneath the main altar of the church and ranks among the oldest elements of the entire complex, predating the significant medieval and Baroque renovations that followed. Unfortunately, public access is currently restricted as the space remains flooded. This historic chamber offers insight into the building's earliest phases of construction.
Pisan Romanesque Façade with Tabernacle of Lupo di Francesco
The Romanesque-Pisan façade of the Chiesa di San Michele in Borgo stands as one of Pisa's most distinctive architectural features. Clad in marble, it's divided into two distinct sections: a 13th-century lower portion with three portals, and a 14th-century upper section featuring three tiers of small loggias. The central portal is crowned by a Gothic tabernacle housing the sculptural group by Lupo di Francesco—the originals are now held at the Museo Nazionale di San Mateo.
Fratelli Ruffatti Pipe Organ (1978)
The pipe organ at Chiesa di San Michele in Borgo, Pisa was built in 1978 by Italian makers Fratelli Ruffatti. The instrument sits as a single unit on the floor of the presbytery, with its console positioned to the left. This substantial organ is what to see when visiting this historic church, offering an impressive example of 20th-century organ craftsmanship integrated into the medieval ecclesiastical space.
