Pieve di San Giovanni Maggiore

Parish church of San Giovanni Maggiore

The parish church is a 10th century structure which was reconstructed between 1520 and 1530, and later modified in the 19th century. Interesting and unusual is the 11th century bell tower with an octagonal section, set on a square base: three orders of single-lancet windows of increasing size open on the sides. Inside, a sixteenth-century wooden crucifix and a remarkable marble ambo from the twelfth century. The glass windows are the work of the Manifatture Chini.
