San Quírico d'Orcia - Collegiata

There was a church on the site of the Collegiata (also known as Pieve di Osenna as early as the eighth century. The present church was built in the 12th century, in Romanesque style, and enlarged in the 13th. The plain facade has a fine Romanesque doorway, with a carving on the lintel of a fight between monsters. The doorway on the south side was probably the work of Giovanni Pisano or his school (13th century); it has a small porch supported on powerful Atlantes figures standing on lions. The doorway in the south transept (1298) is Gothic. The interior (aisleless) has choir-stalls with intarsia decoration by Antonio Barili (1482-1502).
