 Toscana
is rich in churches, parish churches, convents, abbeys, sanctuaries and
monasteries of great historic tradition and indubitable artistic interest,
which makes the region the destination, not only for tourists,
by for the pilgrims of faith, who search for a way of making contact
with God in this place rich in spirituality. Even those who do
not believe however remain fascinated by the beauty and harmony, which
emanates from the sacred buildings at first impact.
Churches, abbeys and sanctuaries in Toscana have always been constructed
in divine harmony with that with which they are surrounded. Erected
in the green countryside or constructed in the city, the sacred Toscani
buildings maintain, from the most magnificent to the most humble, a sombre
architecture never flamboyant but elegant even in its simplest form. The
cleanness of the external lines often conceals the grand
richness of the interior. In fact every sacred building, independent
of its position or importance, preserves precious works of art,
which have come down to us thanks to the dedication and commitment
of the men, and women who have dedicated their life to God’s
service.
