The church has an aisle with apse (another aisle was destroyed in the 12th century), and a bell tower, also from the 12th century.
  • Romanesque church of San Giovanni Battista, at Dobbiana. The façade is made of sandstone. The interior is in Baroque style.
  • Medieval pieve of St. Stephen, at Sorano, known from 1148.
