Jerusalem Museum Complex of San Vivaldo
The "Jerusalem" of San Vivaldo, built in the 16th century by the Friars Minor of St. Francis, is one of the most significant examples of the reproduction of sites in the Holy Land in the West, intended for substitute pilgrimages. This site's uniqueness lies in its topographical layout: a complex of chapels and temples arranged in the woods, reproducing to scale the exact plan of Jerusalem at that time. The buildings house frescoes and cold-cast terracotta sculptures from the Della Robbia school, inspired by episodes from the Passion and Life of Christ, created by the workshops of Giovanni della Robbia and the masters Benedetto Buglioni and Agnolo di Polo.
