The Chiesa di San Geminiano in Pontremoli, located in the province of Massa-Carrara, is a Catholic church dedicated to the patron saint of the city, San Geminiano. Originally a private chapel dating back to the 11th century, the church was completely renovated between 1670 and 1687 and now has a single-nave structure. The façade is decorated with a statue of San Geminiano, while the interior is richly decorated, including a 17th-century sandstone tondo of Christ blessing and a wooden statue of Christ on the Way to Calvary by the Piacentine artist Giovanni Setti. The church is located at the foot of the Piagnaro Castle and is an important religious and historical monument in Pontremoli.
