Santa Fiora, Medieval commune in Province of Grosseto, Italy

Santa Fiora stands at 687 meters on a trachyte cliff, divided into three districts: Castello, Borgo, and Montecatino, each featuring distinct architectural elements.

The territory passed from Aldobrandeschi family control to the Sforza family in 1439 through the marriage of Cecilia Aldobrandeschi and Bosio Sforza.

The Parish Church of Santa Flora and Lucilla houses terracotta artworks by Andrea della Robbia and serves as the primary religious center.

The Monte Amiata Museum of Mining within Palazzo Sforza Cesarini documents the mercury extraction methods that characterized the region through recent centuries.

The Church of Madonna della Neve features a glass floor revealing the flowing Fiora spring directly beneath visitors' feet.
