Asset Overview

Romanesque capital with knight . Pieve di Santa Maria a Lamula (Arcidosso, Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy) is a distinctly Romanesque church in the lowlands between Arcidosso and Montelaterone. While the facade was added in the 20th century, the original church dates back to 837. On either side of the altar are 12th century stone columns topped with bas-reliefs of men riding horses and animals. At the beginning of the ninth century, the parish church of Santa Maria a Lamulas was a branch of the Abbey of San Salvatore al Monte Amiata. The word Lamulas is a medieval latin word for pond, and the church was built near the village of Lamule, a medieval settlement for which no trace remains. In 1264 the troops of Siena invaded the area and set fire to the church. The church was rebuilt, as stated in an inscription inside the temple for "the work of Carlo Paganuccio" who was the King Charles of Anjou, which he received from the Pope the investiture of the Kingdom of Sicily in 1265.
