'''Sant'Alessandro''' is a [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]]-style [[Roman Catholic]] parish church located on Borgo Sant'Alessandro corner with Viale Cesare Battisti in [[Volterra]], province of Pisa, region of Tuscany, Italy. It is located outside the Porta d'Arco (Portal of the Arch), one of the seven gates in the walls of Volterra.
==History and description==
A church was initially consecrated here in 1120 by [[Pope Callixtus II]], presumably at the site of a pagan temple. The structure is made from stone blocks and has a wooden beams sustaining the ceiling. In the facade is an oculus, and an awkward portico was added in the 16th-century. The sail-type bell tower above the apse was added in 1598
Inside is a painted cross, poorly conserved, dating to the 12th century is kept in the church; it putatively derives from the monastery of San Galgano in Chiusdino.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=od4NAQAAIAAJ Guida di Volterra], Benedetto Sborgi, Tipografia Sborgi, 1903, page 136.</ref> Two tablets depicting Saints Atinia and Greciniana, two of the few remaining parts of the altar made by Cosimo Daddi. A 15th-century-tabernacle is located on the right wall of the presbytery. It originally comes from the Santi Pietro e Paolo church in Coiano, in the municipality of Castelfiorentino, Valdelsa, but is part of Volterra’s diocese.
