Santa Maria a Lamula, Medieval church in Montelaterone, Italy
The church features three naves separated by stone pillars and columns, with semicircular apses and walls built from trachyte blocks.
Originally established as a cell of San Salvatore Abbey in the 9th century, the church received recognition as a baptismal church from Pope Gregory V in 996.
The interior pillars display ornate capitals decorated with animal figures, representing medieval artistic traditions of the Monte Amiata region.
The church stands at the foot of Montelaterone hill, within the municipal boundaries of Arcidosso, accessible through chestnut forest paths.
Local tradition tells of a wooden Madonna statue, discovered by woodcutters, which was carried by a donkey that left permanent footprints at the church site.
