Pieve di San Cresci in Valcava, Medieval church in Borgo San Lorenzo, Italy.

The Pieve di San Cresci in Valcava features three naves, six windows, and stone block construction with an octagonal baptismal font in its interior layout.

Founded in the 6th century on the site of a former pagan temple, the church underwent substantial renovations between 1700 and 1702, receiving consecration in 1703.
