Churches and monasteries of Camaiore and Versilia
 

Religious itineraries

Among others we can suggest various excursions of the faith , with the churches, convents, and Parish churches which narrate the religious
and political life at the dawning of this countries social organization.
Parish churches which often are found at the foot of the hills, above which we find castle ruins testifying the two dominant powers: the
church on one side and the feudatories on the other.
Starting from the main town of Camaiore, we note the abbey, an antique Benedictine convent
built in the VIII century of which remain the structure and the beautiful Romanic church dedicated to Saint Peter, conserving important
works of art.
Moving on a few hundred meters we arrive at the main square of Camaiore, dominated by the XIII century Collegiate dedicated to Saint-Maria Assunta, flanked by the imposing XVI century bell tower (originally the civic tower).
Inside the Collegiate paintings and statues of important artistic value are found.
Also in the centre of Camaiore , among many others are the churches of Suffragio, Saint Vincent
or Dolori, that of the Angel and others,great and small all hold their own artistic importance.
A short way from the centre we reach the village of the Pieve where the church giving its name to the village is dedicated to Saints John The Baptist and Steven (proving its age, probably dating to the Longobard era).
But in every village, even the smallest, we find religious buildings often with antique origins
containing works of art, perhaps not of sublime value but showing a depth of the religiousness
which characterised the antique populations of these places.
