The church of Santa Maria Maggiore was founded before 1000AD, but was rebuilt in the 13th Century in Gothic style for the Vallombrosiani family. The interior has a solemn atmosphere which comes from the structure of the three naves broken up into arcades with pointed arches. The design was based on the cistercene model from the time of Buontalenti. In the large chapel you can see the frescoes that contain scenes from ‘Herototus ordering the massacre’ and ‘The massacre of the Innocents’ from the end of the 14th Century.
