Santa Maria Assunta, Romanesque church in San Quirico d'Orcia, Italy.
The Santa Maria Assunta church features square travertine stones and a single nave design, with animal head motifs decorating the small apse interior.
The church construction occurred during the second half of the 11th century, positioned along the Via Francigena, a major European pilgrimage route to Rome.
The entrance gate facing Via Francigena displays architectural elements similar to those found at the Abbey of Saint Antimo, guiding medieval pilgrims.
The church welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 to 19:00, with Saturday masses at 17:00 from October to April and 18:00 from May to September.
Two gardens border the church grounds: the Giardini delle Rose and Horti Leonini, creating a natural frame for this medieval structure.
