San Quirico in Monte San Quirico

San Quirico is a church on the right bank of the Serchio River in Monte San Quirico, built with neoclassical elements. The building displays a simple facade with traditional religious features characteristic of rural places in this region.

The church dates to the 8th century when its founder donated properties to the Bishop of Lucca. This led to the establishment of regular processions that underscored the spiritual importance of the place.

The church remains a place for community worship and preserves Catholic tradition in this rural area. Visitors can observe the religious practice that has shaped local life for centuries.

The church is located at Via della Chiesa 384 in Monte San Quirico and is easy to reach from the village. Visitors should note that the building continues to serve as a parish church and may not be freely accessible during service times.

The building underwent major reconstruction in 1866 and received a thorough facade restoration in 1897. These works gave the church its current neoclassical appearance.
