Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta

One of the best examples of Romanic style. It's worth a visit

Small church scattered in the Modenese Apennines. Small but extremely impressive. The stone cladding that forms the outer wall is a splendid example of chromatic harmony

A place half-known even by the people of Modena, it can be reached from the road that from Spezzano arrives on the Giardini, before Serramazzoni. Passing through the castle of spezzano on the left and the sauces of Nirano on the right, always straight up to the Borgo di Rocca Santa Maria. The village was almost completely renovated and the parish church stands in a spectacular place, under the castle, of which very little remains. It would be enough to cut some trees and the landscape will range from Maranello, Fiorano to other Modena and on clear days to the Veronese pre-Alps. The Pieve has some renovations, including the bell tower, redone floors and raised ceiling, part of the fresco immediately before the altar - redone - on the left. The real show is the columns with capitals that can be dated before or close to the year one thousand. If you are in the surroundings make a stop ... I did a tour of churches and castles - tower, around Serra ...

Charming place with a small but beautiful church. From here you can enjoy a beautiful view.

Very impressive Romanesque church worth a visit.
