Pieve di Corsignano

beautiful construction

dating back to the 10th century, this little church a bit outside of Pienza is worth the descent and climb back to the city. the tower and the front are very interesting.

A beautiful and historic church!

A well preserved example of a small and significant church - just on the outskirts of Pienza, it is easy to walk to.

Small church with a claim to fame!

This little old Romanesque church was where two popes were baptized. That surely must be a claim to fame back in the day! It is always hard to imagine such abandoned places were once filled with lots ...

An interesting stop

Well preserved old church. It was the perfect place to stretch our legs and walk around. The surrounding countryside is beyond compare!

Gladiator wheat field

Go to see the church, then walk down the steep path which will take you to the scene used in Gladiator, fabulous!
