The Medieval village of Guardistallo

The village of Guardistallo fully saves its urban structure despite of the numerous restoration and rebuilding works made in the middle of the XIX-th century because of natural events that altered its original aspect.

In the very heart of the historic centre it is possible to visit the Saints Lorenz and Agata Church, whose building goes back to the XIII-th century.

Thanks to some restorations made during the XIX-th century the church shows today its original features.
