Founded in 1064 thanks to the booty the Pisans brought from the sack of Palermo and from the anti-Saracen exploits of Reggio, Sardinia, and Bona, the Cathedral of Santa Maria testifies to the prestige achieved by the Maritime Republic of Pisa at its height. This is evident in the fact that the church was built outside the city walls and symbolized a power that feared no threat.

The cathedral was built in two phases, each associated with the architects Buscheto, author of the original plan with a basilica body with five naves, a transept with three naves, and a dome on the cross; and Rainaldo, who designed the extension of the building and created the façade, characterized by contrasting black and white colors and the persistent use of reused materials from Roman monuments to emphasize the greatness of Pisa.
