Pieve di San Cresci

The parish church features a facade combining white alberese stones and red bricks, with two mullioned windows and decorative geometric patterns.

The church, first documented in 963 and dedicated to Saint Acrisio, underwent major modifications during the 15th century with the addition of a columned portico.

The interior contains valuable artworks including a 1615 Madonna of Rosario canvas by Francesco Boldrini and a 16th-century crucifix within its barrel-vaulted nave.

The church opens to visitors on specific days, allowing examination of both the Romanesque architecture and the 1869 pipe organ by Cesare and Luigi Tronci.

The building survived a partial roof collapse in 1967 and underwent extensive restoration work starting in 1991 to preserve its medieval structure.
