Santa Maria in Ripalta is a Renaissance-style, former church located in Via San Giuliano in Pistoia, region of Tuscany, Italy. The structure is under restoration.

History

The church derived its name from a gate in the city walls through which Uguccione della Faggiola tried to overcome Pistoia during a siege. It had been previously dedicated to San Giusto. The church once had a venerated processional crucifix carried in town in 1399 by the flagellant Confraternity dei Bianchi. It was then moved to Sant'Andrea. In 1554, the adjacent Canon's residence housed monks that had fled from Montecatini Terme to escape capture by Piero Strozzi. In the 19th century, it was assigned to the Confraternita del Suffragio. In the 20th-century, it became property of the commune.

A Romanesque-era fresco depicting Christ Pantocrator has been uncovered during restoration. An inventory in 1853 listed the following artworks: [1]
