The Saints Flora and Lucilla Church in Torrita di Siena

The Saints Flora and Lucilla Church was built around the XIII-XIVth century and restored in the next century. It rises in the very heart of the historic centre and it represents the most ancient religious building in the town.

The interior has just an aisle and it saves numerous interesting art works, like a fourteenth-century fresco placed on the internal facade.

Once entered to the church it is possible to admire on the right side a marble-made lunette portraying the "Redeemer's Blood" that was partially carved by Donatello (1386-1466) and a fifteenth-century triptych by Florentine school, portraying the "Crucifixion and the Saints Bartolomeo and Augustine".

Close to the choir zone it is possible to admire fine art works like an "Our Lady in Glory and Saints", an "Annunciation" painted by Francesco Vanni (1563-1610), the "Nativity and the Saints Augustine and Anthony Abbot" attributed to Bartolo di Fredi (1330-1410) and also an "Our Lady with the Child and the Saints Andrew and Giacomo Apostle" by Benvenuto di Giovanni (1436-1518).
