Built in the 17th^century thanks to donations from the people of Monterosso, this beautifully crafted oratory is a true memento mori: the inscription engraved on its façade mortis et orationis (death and prayer) recalls that the brotherhood that ran the oratory was dedicated to helping the needy who could not afford funeral orations. This duty of the brothers is evoked in the building's interior decor, with skulls, stucco and wooden allegories of death...

This late 12th century Romanesque church is located in the upper part (Certaldo Alto), i. e. the medieval part of the city.
