San Genesio town hall

Former vicarage with a Gothic tower

Battlements, embrasures and grimacing stone faces decorate the Gothic tower of this former vicarage and village school. Today the building is the town hall of San Genesio. Access to the town hall is rather unique: the path leads through the cemetery that had been built outside the church.
