Rectory of Saints Michael and Francis

The single-nave church features six lateral altars, an 1818 organ by Giosuè Agati, and multiple religious artworks throughout its interior space.

The church establishment dates to 1211 following St Francis of Assisi's visit, with the current structure built in 1330 and subsequent renovations through centuries.

The church houses the notable Visitation altarpiece created by Renaissance artist Jacopo Pontormo, displayed on the second altar to the right.

The building connects to the Oratory of St Sebastian on the left side and includes a cloister on the right, with multiple spaces for religious ceremonies.

The presbytery contains a wooden processional statue of the Virgin and a large wooden crucifix from 1731 at its main altar.
