The Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pieve, a symbol of Arezzo, stands out in the city’s historical center with its striking Tuscan Romanesque architecture. The church, dating back to the 1100s, is easily recognizable by its imposing bell tower and four-tiered facade, characterized by increasingly narrow arches. Inside, the high ceilings create a spacious atmosphere, where visitors can see the remains of an ancient well and a vivid gold altarpiece depicting the Madonna and Child.
