The Medieval village of Massa e Cozzile

The village of Massa e Cozzile rises in the green belt of a natural environment that offers some views of a typical wood landscape, ideal places where to have outdoor trips among a rich and untouched vegetation.

The village shows the characteristic marks of its original building, saving still today the remains of its Medieval fortifications and of its ancient ring of walls equipped with some towers.

Interesting to visit is the Our Lady of Assumption Church.

It was probably built during the Early Middle Ages, equipped with a Romanic belfry, and restored during the Renaissance.

The church saves inside some valuable art works, like an "Our Lady with the Child", coming from the Della Robbia's school, a "Deposition of the Cross" by Sebastiano Vini and, inside the sacristy, some fifteenth-century carved furnishings and a wooden statue dating back to the XIII-th century and portraying an "Our Lady".
