The Saint Fiora and Lucilla Parish in Santa Fiora The Saint Fiora and Lucilla Parish probably was built during the Early Middle Ages and during the next centuries it subdued numerous restoration works aiming to restore its original aspect. On the facade it is possible to admire a rose-window showing the typical Romanic style and a portal built according to the late sixteenth-century style. The interior of the parish has three aisles, of which that middle one shows a roof with trusses.
