Buggiano - Buggiano Castello Attractions

On the road from Montecatini Terme to Pescia is the village of Borgo a Buggiano, from which a side road leads up to the old walled village of Buggiano Castello (1.5km/1mi). Its most notable building is the 13th century Palazzo Pretorio, its facade covered with 15th and 16th century coats of arms. In the small square stands the Romanesque parish church, originally built in 1038 for a Benedictine abbey and later partly rebuilt. The aisles are separated from the nave by columns with antique capitals (on the right) and pillars (on the left); fine marble sculpture and wall-paintings.
