The parish of the saints Andrew and Laurence is a sacred building in Serre di Rapolano(Rapolano Terme). The parish is mentioned since 1252 but the present external aspect in neo-Romanesque style dates back to the beginning of the XX century and it is well co-ordinated with the high bell-tower in light travertine, finished in 1893. The inside is most of all in gothic style with only a nave with a truss-roof and lateral chapels. Of particular relief is the gothic chapel Cacciaconti, which is closed by rich railings by Lotino di Toro from Siena(1347); on the wall the sepulchral monument of Cacciaconte Cacciaconti; on the corbel, a splendid Blessing Jesus in marble by Giovanni di Agostino; on the wall, the tablet with saint Catherine from Siena attributable to Giovanni di Lorenzo(1520).The parish of the saints Andrew and Laurence is a sacred building in Serre di Rapolano(Rapolano Terme).
