San Biagio, Montepulciano, Renaissance church in Montepulciano, Italy.
The San Biagio church features a Greek cross layout, a central dome, and a semicircular apse, constructed entirely with travertine blocks from Sant'Albino quarries.
Antonio da Sangallo the Elder designed this church in 1518, following the model of Santa Maria delle Carceri basilica in Prato for this Renaissance construction.
The interior walls contain arched niches with marble altars, while the main altar displays a 14th-century Sienese fresco of the Madonna with Child.
The church stands on level ground outside the city walls, with parking spaces available and clear signs directing visitors from Montepulciano's central square.
Only the left bell tower received completion, creating an asymmetrical facade that differs from the initial design of two identical towers.
