Pieve of San Martino di Palaia
Highlight • Religious Site
The coexistence of Romanesque and Gothic elements suggests that the church was built in two successive phases. It is assumed that the architect of the parish church may have been Andrea Pisano, already known for having melted the first door of the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence in 1330.
Inside there is the 12th century cylindrical stoup.
