Chiesa dei Santi Giusto e Clemente, Renaissance church in Volterra, Italy.
The Chiesa dei Santi Giusto e Clemente features classical Renaissance elements with orderly arrangements of columns and symmetrical proportions throughout its structure.
Giovanni Coccapani, born in Florence in 1582, designed this church in 1628 during a period of architectural transformation in the Tuscan region.
The church incorporates traditional Catholic religious elements while displaying the mathematical precision and geometric patterns characteristic of Renaissance religious buildings.
Visitors can observe the daily occurrence at midday when sunlight enters through a specific opening to illuminate the marble meridian line on the floor.
The building stands on elevated ground outside central Volterra, offering views of the surrounding Cecina Valley through its carefully positioned windows.
