Rio nell'Elba Village

Highlight • Settlement

Rio Elba is one of the oldest villages on the island with origins in the Bronze Age, and retains many traces of its past. Perched on a hill 180 meters above sea level, like the rest of the villages on the eastern side, it belongs to the mining tradition that is lost in the mists of time. mining of the island until the closure of the deposits. Another place of historical and cultural interest is the Parish Church of SS Giacomo and Quirico, built in the 11th century, was repeatedly destroyed by pirates and rebuilt. Today the external structure is Renaissance while the internal one is decidedly baroque. Here are some precious paintings, but the most important painting is attributed to Giovanni di San Giovanni Valdarno (1592/1636) and depicts the mystical marriage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Leaving the Church of the Saints on the right Giacomo and Quirico, at the end of the street is the Church of the Pietà of the sixteenth century. Interesting are also the old Lavatoi with mouths in brass, the Valle dei Mulini where once there were 22 well fed by the source of the Canals and the Church of Souls.
