Santi Ippolito e Cassiano

The Santi Ippolito e Cassiano church features rounded arches, solid stone walls, and decorative capitals typical of Romanesque construction methods.

Originally constructed in the 10th century under the bishopric of Volterra, the church underwent substantial modifications during the late 12th and mid-13th centuries.

The church maintains regular Catholic services following the Roman Rite, connecting current local residents with centuries of religious traditions.

Visitors can reach the church by taking the small road past Campiglia dei Foci, which extends from Colle Val d'Elsa toward Volterra.

The church stands in isolation among the Tuscan landscape, with internal capitals displaying detailed stone carvings from medieval craftsmen.
