San Michele Arcangelo, Romanesque church in Volterra, Italy
The church features a facade with black and green stones creating a distinct pattern, along with finely carved capitals adorning the columns.
The religious structure dates back to 987, as mentioned in a papal bull, while the current building was constructed in the 13th century.
The interior holds a marble tabernacle by Balsimelli di Settignano and a terracotta Madonna and Child created by Giovanni della Robbia.
Located on Via Guarnacci 6, the church stands opposite the Medieval Palazzo Maffei-Guarnacci in the central area of Volterra.
The facade contains coats of arms of the Farnese family, displaying lily stems that mark their influence on the church's decoration.
