Tuscan Churchs for weddings-cortona-italy

Tuscany is a land rich of culture and curches which are symbol of history and religion but even of romanticism which comes from their style and architecture. Particularly suggestive are places such as St. Frances Celles, Farneta Abbey, St. Margareth Sanctuary, St. Biagio in Montepulciano, Church of San Cristoforo and many more.


“The Church of San Cristoforo, almost at the top of Cortona, is my favourite in the town. It is ancient, begun around 1192 on Etruscan fundaments. Outside, I peer into a small Chapel with a fresco of the Annunciation. The angel just landed, has chalky aqua sleeves and skirts till billowing from light. The door of the church is always open (…) behind San Cristoforo is one of the staggering valley views, cut into diagonally by a slice of fortress wall, amazingly high.”

Frances Mayes, Under the tuscan sun, p.185-186
