==Description==
A pieve or rural parish church called Sant'Andrea in Postierla is documented since 1170. In 1339, commissioned by the Bishop Ranuccio Allegretti, an [[Olivetan order|Olivetan]] monastery was built atop the old etruscan walls on this site. They remained in the monastery till it was closed in 1783, by order of the the Grand-Duke Leopold, and transferred to become the Seminario Vescovile.<ref>[https://www.google.com/books/edition/Guida_per_la_città_di_Volterra/C2xJAAAAYAAJ Guida per la citta di Volterra], by Pietro Torrini, Tipografia de Pietro Torrini, Volterra (1832); page 191.</ref> The seminary, founded in 1704, had previously been located in the Palazzo Incontri on the Piazza Maggiore.<ref>[https://www.google.com/books/edition/Guida_di_Volterra/UnxIAAAAYAAJ Guida di Volterra], by Annibale Cinci; tipografia Volterrana (1885); page 88.</ref>
A small church is attached to convent, but many of the artworks have been moved including to the Diocesan museum of Volterra, now in the church of [[Sant'Agostino, Volterra|Sant'Agostino]]. In 1767, Bishop Jacopo Gaetano Inghirami consecrated the church. In a survey from 1832, the church had two canvases (1698) flanking the entrance depicting ''Miracles of the blessed Bernardo Tolomei'', founder of the Olivetan order, painted by Giovanni Battista Maioli. A side altarpiece depicting ''Santa Francesca Romana'' was painted Vanni senior. The side altarpiece depicting the Presentation at the temple was painted by Arrighi and Baldassarre Franceschini. There was a canvas altarpiece depicting the blessed Bernardo Tolomei by Giovanni Morari. Flanking the main altar were canvases depicting the ''Martyrdom of St Andrew Apostle'' and ''St Peter crossing the Sea'' by Giuseppe Arrighi. The chapel dedicated to the Holy Heart of Jesus had a alabaster [[ciborium]] (1574).<ref>[https://www.google.com/books/edition/Guida_per_la_città_di_Volterra/C2xJAAAAYAAJ Guida per la citta di Volterra], by Pietro Torrini, Tipografia de Pietro Torrini, Volterra (1832); page 191-192.</ref>
