The Saint Mary Church close to the Water in Casciana Terme The Saint Mary Church close to the Water, of Romanic origin, shows its actual feature that is the result of the numerous modifications occurred along the centuries. The Parish still shows its original structure characterized by a fine simplicity despite the periodical modifications that leaded to its actual Classical form. Outside it is possible to see the imposing belfry that rises by the side of the Parish, decorated with fine travertine-made relieves made by local artists.

Inside the chapel it is also possible to admire numerous fine paintings and marble and bronzy-made sculptures.
