MARCIANA AND IT'S CULTURE, HISTORY AND NATURE

CHURCH OF SAN LORENZO A MARCIANA
(along the road that connects Marciana Marina to Marciana)

This building shows the same architectural characteristics of all romanesque churches on the island Elba; a only one rectangular church ship with halfcircle termination. In this case there is to
notice a small irregularity in the sketch (the rectangle becomes the trapezoid) and the particularly long form of the church ship. Remarkably also the style-moderate and structural similarity with the
church San Giovanni in Campo.

Feature “L’Elba fra storia e leggenda – Itinerari ed altro” by Claudia Danesi, with the kind concession of publication from part of the Administration of Campo nell’Elba.
For the images that we have drawn from photographic arches of the Agency for the tourism of the Tuscany Archipelago, the culture association La Torre, from Giorgio Giusti, from Mario Padani, we thanks the owners for the availability.

San Lorenzo is one of the most impressive certifications of religious history on the island Elba.
