Lonely Planet review for Pieve di Santa Maria
This 12th-century church has a magnificent Romanesque arcaded facade, in form reminiscent of the cathedral at Pisa, yet without the glorious marble facing. Over the central doorway are lively carved reliefs representing the months of the year. The 14th-century bell tower with its 40 apertures is something of an emblem for the city. The monochrome of the interior’s warm, grey stone is relieved by Pietro Lorenzetti’s fine polyptych, Madonna and Saints, beneath the semidome of the apse.
