The Medieval village of Pieve Fosciana

The territory of Pieve Fosciana is rich of very interesting buildings that testify its age-old history.

In the very heart of the historic centre it is possible to admire the Saint John Baptist Church, built by using serene stone during the XIII-th century.

The actual aspect of the religious building is the result of the numerous restoration works executed along the centuries and that have given to the parish a typical Renaissance feature.

Inside the Saint John Baptist Church are saved some valuable art works, among them two glazed earth-made statues made by Andrea della Robbia (1435-1525) and some paintings by Antonio Consetti.

Close to Pieve Fosciana there are the localities of Sillico and Capraia, that are two characteristic Medieval villages from which it is possible to enjoy a wonderful sight on the valley below.
