Also known as Certosa della Val Graziosa, this former monastery of the Carthusian Order is located in the municipality of Calci, in the province of Pisa. In Baroque style, the building currently houses the Natural History Museum of the University of Pisa and contains some important works such as a "Nativity" by Giuseppe Bottani, the only testimony of the Company of the Virgin Mary of New Venice that has survived to this day.

The Certosa is a place dear to all Pisans, located in the middle of Val Graziosa, so called for its amenity in ancient times. One part hosts the natural history museum managed by the university, while the rest of the convent structure is managed by the ministry (the state) and can be visited upon request (the custodians are very knowledgeable and kind, especially the boy with the long monk's beard).
