FOTO GALLERY OF SAN DONATO IN POGGIO
San Donato in Poggio
The town is small but it still conserves its medieval heritage. The heart of the town is still surrounded by the defensive walls built in the 12th century. The imposing Palazzo Malaspina dominates one corner and right next to it is the Gothic church Santa Maria della Neve with its side facing the square. The Pieve di San Donato, built in Tuscan Romanesque style, dates back to the year 989. It rose on the "via Sanese", a road much traveled by Florentines heading toward Siena.
