Once upon a time Semproniano,,,,,,,,,, a village of another time

The village of Semproniano is still characterized by stretches of its original construction.

Its historic center is made from the typical charming rustic dwellings of medieval origin that arise between narrow lanes paved in stone.

The old centre, with its narrow streets and winding, develops in half concentric around the Aldobrandesca Rocca, of which there are only a few pieces and from which our gaze sweeps up to Monte Amiata.
Next to the fortress, on the square, there is the Church of Santa Croce. The first historical mention that we have is in a document of 1188 from Pope Clement III. Unfortunately the Church followed the fortress, suffering looting and destruction. His current appearance is simple, with only an arc in the middle. The walls are in typical colors of Siena: black and white.
Interesting is also the Romanesque church that is probably the oldest building in the city, having been built around the 10th century by Aldobrandeschi family.
