The Magistral Church is peculiarly interesting: it is in a pure romanesque style. The restoration has given relief to the vaults of the burgundian-cistercian influence. The altar is in the most ancient form of the romanesque structures. On the 16th of October 1982 H. E. Mgrs. Mario Ismaele Castellano O. P., Archbishop of Siena, blessed the church and on the 19th of September 1987 it was consecrated by H. E. Mgrs. Fernando Charier, Auxiliary Bishop and General Vicar of Siena.
