    The Chiesa di Cristo Re in Gambassi Terme, also known as the Church of Saints Jacopo and Stefano, is a charming church built in 1940 with a Gothic facade and interior. It houses valuable works of art from different periods, including paintings by Pier Francesco Fiorentino and Biagio di Antonio. It is also home to a reconstructed tabernacle with a fifteenth-century fresco depicting the Assumption of the Virgin. This church is located in the heart of Valdelsa.

      The modern facade is vaguely Gothic, as is the interior, with a single nave and a trussed roof, equipped with charming stained glass windows from the twentieth century. On the inside of the facade are the two most important works of the church, coming from the ancient prepositura of San Jacopo: on the left as you enter is the painting with the Virgin and Child enthroned between the saints Giovanni, Francesco, Matteo and Jacopo, attributed to Pier Francesco Fiorentino, and on the other side of the entrance the Madonna between Saints Giovanni Battista and Girolamo by Biagio di Antonio.
      Four paintings from different periods, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, are placed on the walls of the nave1. Among them is the interesting San Sebastiano between San Rocco and another saint of the little known Baccio Gorini, from the second half of the sixteenth century. Behind the altar is the reconstruction of a tabernacle with a fifteenth-century fresco depicting the Assumption of the Virgin, angels and saints making music on the sides and the Four Evangelists on the vault.

        YesIn spite of appearances it is the new parish church, built in 1940 near the ancient church of San Luca or degli Agostiniani, demolished in 1786.
