The Church of San Biagio is a remarkable example of Renaissance architecture in Montepulciano, Italy. It is a parish church built during the 16th century and completed in 1598. The church was dedicated to Saint Biagio, a 4th century Christian martyr.
The main façade has a triangular shape and is made entirely of travertine. The façade is divided into three sections, and the arches containing the central part are decorated with lion heads and heads of griffins, a stone balustrade, and a complex trabeation.

Inside the church you can find a beautiful interior with stucco ornamentation and a wooden choir, where the high altar is placed.
