Santi Quirico e Giulitta

The church displays three ornate entrances, with the main Romanesque portal featuring columns resting on carved stone lions and detailed architectural elements.

Originally constructed as a parish church in the 8th century, the building underwent significant modifications during the 12th and 13th centuries.

The wooden choir, transferred from Siena Cathedral in 1749, exhibits intricate inlays and detailed panel work by master craftsman Antonio Barili.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and opens its doors to visitors who wish to examine the Gothic rose window and Romanesque architecture.

The right portal contains carved caryatids standing on lion sculptures, with an inscription potentially revealing the name of its medieval creator.
