The Medieval village of Radicondoli The village of Radicondoli is still within the remains of its ancient walls, from which once three gates opened to give access to the town. From the three gates it is still possible to see jyst one of them, the so called "Porta a Olla", saving this latter some elements of its original building like its acute pointed arch once surmounted the gate and its brackets. The urban settlement develops along the sides of a main road on which the most important monuments and buildings open, like the Collegiate Church, the Church of Saint Catherine of the Rota Convent.

Inside this latter it is possible to admire some fine features in Baroque style. The Collegiate Church was built in the XVI-th century and equipped with a belfry, being this latter built on the remians of a Medieval tower. The Church saves many fine and valuable art works like a "Jesus' Nativity" and "Our Lady's Death", both painted by Alessandro Casolari (1552-1607), an "Our Lady with the Child", painted by Niccolò di ser Sozzo and visible inside the left chapel, and a "Nativity and Saints" by Pietro di Domenico, placed on the second altar on the right.
