The most striking feature of Santa Maria della Pieve is its four tiered facade, built in the XII century. Five double blind arches of the lower floor rest on built in half columns with Corinthian capitals. Above the ground floor are three loggias. They are galleries with columns, each of which is different from the other (there is even a column statue). The number of columns doubles up, which makes the galleries closer. Columns of the upper row are not connected by arches and carry a flat entablature.
