The church is noted for the 11th century mosaic pavement, depicting panthers, sirens, griffins, and floral motifs,〔(Rete Civica di Prato ), short introduction.〕 which were found during restoration of the church. The mosaic is made of light Alberese tiles and black marble.〔 The mosaic images, like the siren, are believed to depict pagan symbols,〔 which suggests that the church was built on a former pagan site.〔David Bershad; Caroline Mangone.
