Santa Maria a Castello, Romanesque church in Monteriggioni, Italy.
The stone church features three naves divided by square pillars, wooden truss-supported roofs, and a circular apse at its eastern end.
The first written records of Santa Maria a Castello date back to June 22, 971, marking over a millennium of religious presence in Monteriggioni.
During the 12th and 13th centuries, the church became the center of a secular canonical community, strengthening its religious influence in Tuscany.
The church stands within an agricultural tourism complex and requires advance arrangements for visits due to limited public access restrictions.
The baptistery of San Giovanni Battista exhibits a central plan design that differs from other rural baptisteries in the Tuscan region.
