In ancient times St Maria a Gradillo Church housed the meetings of the common people who run the politic orientation of the town in opposition to the rich people who gathered in the twin Church, St. Giovanni del Toro. Inside, under the floor, it is possible to see the ancient decoration with small white and grey stones, which represents, in the whole central nave, a tree of life with a slim trunk and lance shaped leaves as well as animals at the bottom.*

What a lovely building.
It is
the simplicity of this church is quite evident, CP.
The church has a nice feel to it
Good to be back on Cherie’s Place again
Thank you for letting me know about the problem
UI like the unusual towers and also the simplicity of the interior.
The church style in that part of Italy is quite distinct
So, yet another place for the Bucket List, I see!
Yes you would love it
