The massive <strong>bell tower<\/strong> on the right is known as the \u201ctower of 100 holes\u201d, due to the distinctive design of its paired mullioned windows arranged over five floors. <strong>The interior has three naves<\/strong> with a trussed ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>The most important work in the Pieve is the <strong>Polyptych by Pietro Lorenzetti<\/strong>, depicting a <em>Madonna and Child, the Annunciation, the Assumption and 12 saints<\/em>. The apse, which overlooks Piazza Grande, is Romanesque, with blind arches and two superimposed loggias.<\/p>\n<h3>Santa Maria delle Grazie<\/h3>\n<p>The second \u201cSanta Maria\u201d, on the other hand, lies a little outside the usual tourist routes and is therefore less well known, but it truly deserves a visit. Santa Maria delle Grazie was built on the site of a temple dedicated to Apollo and a spring around which pagan rites were once performed. In 1425, Saint Bernardino repeatedly tried to have it destroyed, and succeeded in 1428.<\/p>\n<p>In its place, he had an oratory built, where between 1428 and 1431 Parri di Spinello painted the fresco with the image of the <strong>Madonna of Mercy<\/strong>, still visible today.<\/p>\n<p>The Madonna is framed by the marble altar by Andrea della Robbia, which depicts a Madonna and Child between two angels in the tympanum; Saints Lorentino, Pergentino, Donatus and Bernardino in the niches; and the Piet\u00e0 on the frontal.<\/p>\n<p>In 1490, the distinctive <strong>portico with the starry sky<\/strong> was built, immediately catching the eye of those arriving at Santa Maria delle Grazie. It was designed by Benedetto da Maiano, inspired by Brunelleschi\u2019s Ospedale degli Innocenti.<\/p>\n<h3>Opening hours and ticket price for the Pieve di Santa Maria<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Opening hours: <\/strong>weekdays and holidays 8:30 am-1:00 pm and 3:30 pm-7:00 pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ticket price:<\/strong> free<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to get there: <\/strong>in Piazza Grande.<\/p>\n<h3>Opening hours and ticket price for Santa Maria delle Grazie<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Opening hours: <\/strong>every day from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ticket price:<\/strong> free<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to get there: <\/strong>Via S.
