Corciano's Buildings

Corciano possesses the typical medieval castle urban structure. The historical centre is surrounded from high and mighty boundaries, inside which, few or nothing has been modified. Every architectural element has wisely been preserved or restored in the full respect of its native spirit. The roads, the alleys and the arcs composing suggestive plots have a   charm that doesn't escape even the most distracted tourist.

In the centre of the country, just on the main street, rises the Town-hall, built during the XVI century and destined to be inhabited by the dukes of della Corgna during their standstills to the castle. Of notable interest inside the Palazzo, it's the splendid ceiling of the Sala Consiliare, work of the Florentine artist Salvio Savini.

A little bit out of the urban entourage there's the Castello Pieve del Vescovo, a sumptuous quadrangular building endowed with towers that close every side of it. It was built widening the small Pieve di San Giovanni Intermontes, already present in the XI century. In Renaissance epoch it was restored by the famous architect Gian Galeazzo Alessi.

Another splendid complex can be admired at the feet of the hill of Corciano, Palazzo Baldeschi, an ancient medieval firm surrounded from green valleys and fertile fields.
