It is worth descending to the small cave beneath the church via a staircase flanked by a series of singular sculptures, created in a relatively recent era.

You cannot visit or get close enough to the convent to take a picture of it. There is an interesting informational panel which gives a brief history.

In the center of Pontassieve, in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, stands one of the most important monuments of the town, namely the town hall, also called Palazzo Sansoni Trombetta.

Nowadays, they are often just monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship: the heavy millstones were moved using only the power of the wind as the driving force and, for example, grain was ground into flour (grain mills) or oil was pressed from olives (oil mills). But the writer Miguel de CERVANTES (1547 to 1616) also created a literary monument to the technical monument of the mills: the most famous figure of the author, who is considered Spain's national poet and whose work can certainly be valued as world literature: "Don QUIXOTE", also known as the "Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance" and always accompanied by his loyal squire Sancho Panza, fights a - of course hopeless - battle against windmills in one of the fictional stories, in which he believes he recognizes four-armed giants.

The church of S. Maria is located in Fornello, a hamlet of the municipality of Pontassieve, along the road between Santa Brigida and Doccia. It stands "on the southern side of Monte di Croce". Probably from the 11th century but remodeled several times.

Quiet, traffic-free country road with a view of Poggio le Serre and Poggio Verrucoli to enrich the panorama.

The pretty church of Santa Brigida rises in the town of the same name. From here begins the climb towards the Madonna del Sasso Sanctuary.
