Santa Chiara is a Roman Catholic church in Pisa, region of Tuscany, Italy, a few paces away from the Piazza dei Miracoli.
Originally called the church of Santo Spirito, it was reconstructed in 1227 as the chapel for the adjacent hospital of Santa Chiara (St Clare), later called Spedale Nuovo di Santo Spirito. The portal fresco of Madonna and child with Saints Clare and Francis dates to the 17th century. One of the relics contained in this church is a supposed spine from the Crown of thorns worn by Christ at the passion, and once held at the church of Santa Maria della Spina. It also contains a 15th-16th century wooden Crucifix and a marble Annunciation (1567) by Stoldo Lorenzi.

Charitable institutions attached to churches in Rome were founded right through the medieval period and included hospitals, hostels, and others providing assistance to pilgrims to Rome from a certain "nation", which thus became these nations' national churches in Rome. These institutions were generally organised as confraternities and funded through charity and legacies from rich benefactors belonging to that "nation". Often also they were connected to national "scholae", where the clergymen were trained. The churches and their riches were a sign of the importance of their nation and of the prelates that supported them. Up to 1870 and Italian unification, these national churches also included churches of the Italian city states.

Borgo Santo Spirito is a street in Rome, Italy, important for historical and artistic reasons. From a historical point of view, it is considered the most interesting street in the Borgo district. Of medieval origin, it is linked to the foundation of the ancient fortified hospice for pilgrims from England, the Burgus Saxonum. The street houses the oldest Roman hospital, the Arcispedale di Santo Spirito in Saxia, which gave it its name. Heavily altered during the works for the opening of Via della Conciliazione, it nevertheless avoided the fate of the two parallel streets of Borgo Nuovo and Borgo Vecchio, both destroyed.
