Church of Corpus Domini

It is located in the central square of the upper part of Seggiano, near the place where the keep tower stood in the Middle Ages. It is also called the Church of San Bernardino because the relics of the saint are kept in the church.

Built in the 18th century and subject to a heavy restoration in 1869, the Church has a façade in local stone flanked on the right by the bell tower. Inside there are eighteenth-century stucco altars. On the right altar the paintings on canvas depict San Bernardino, Santa Caterina, Santa Maria Maddalena, San Cristoforo with the Child and other saints and angels in heaven. In the central panel there was a “Madonna with Child” painted by Andrea Vanni, a follower of Santa Caterina. The fourteenth-century panel, known for being venerated by San Bernardino, is currently exhibited at the Documentation Center of the Municipality of Seggiano as well as other interesting paintings by Francesco Nasini that were previously inside the Church such as “Wedding at Cana” and ” Dinner at the Levi house “(1669). In the left altar it is possible to admire another work by Nasini “San Sebastiano cured by the pious women” recently restored.

On the right side of the church are the Logge del Mercato “alle Mura”, of neoclassical architecture between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Inside there is a lion-headed iron fountain with the Seggiano coat of arms above it.
