Pieve dei Saddi was built on the remains of a pre-existing pagan temple to house the remains of San Crescentino. The Saint was a devout and convinced spreader of the Christian faith in the Tiberina Umbrian valley and for this reason he was killed during the purges wanted by the emperor Diocletian in the 4th century. The current church has Romanesque forms and dates back to the second half of the 11th century. The plan is divided into three naves and closes in the rear part with a polygonal apse, on the outside there is a beautiful bell tower. The crypt once housed the remains of San Crescentino, which were then moved to Urbino.

The Pieve de’ Saddi is the center of the first Christianization of the High Tiber Valley and the religious center of the entire mountain region for centuries. The Pieve (original parish) was a meeting place for the early Christians.
During the persecution under Diocletian, a Roman soldier - Crescentino - was beheaded and buried here. The Pieve de' Saddi church was built in the 5th century on the site of a former Roman temple to house the martyr's remains. Inside the church, divided into three naves, there is an 8th-century relief depicting the saint killing a dragon that had terrorized the inhabitants of Città di Castello.

Whether you are doing the Via on foot or by bike, stop in this magical place immersed in the meditative silence of the hills. Super welcome. It is possible to eat and sleep. If it's full or it's winter a few km before there is the winter hostel near a farmhouse (the kind owners take care of both hostels)
