The town Collazzone
The
San Lorenzo Church is the
parish church recently restored, beside which there's the native bell tower of
the 1700. In its inside is guarded the "
Madonna with Child", a
wooden polychrome statue of the XIII century, recently restored, and now
visible in all its shine.
The
Church and the Franciscan Monastery
of San Lorenzo deserve a really great attention. It was firstly a
Benedictine monastery, then Franciscan. It was built in the centuries XIII-XIV.
The tradition wants that in the convent
Iacopone da Todi died the
Christmas evening 1306.
In
Collepepe in the place known as
"
Le Carceri" there is a testimony of the ancient Roman
presence in the territory. It's about some cisterns, perhaps to the service of
the thermal baths of a residence, or as element of the water structure of a
consistent housing installation.
