Then head to the church of San Niccolo as it’s now known. Located just outside San Piero, this beautiful church was partially attached to a 15th century fortress built right here also.
One of Elba’s best preserved churches is the Chiesa di Santo Stefano alle Trane. This quaint little church was built in the 1100s on a scenic hilltop overlooking the towns of Magazzini and Schiopparello. In the afternoon, why not head over to see the Chiesa di San Michele in Capoliveri. It has been renovated in recent years and is set in such idealist surroundings!
