Empoli Attractions

Adjoining is the Museo della Collegiata, with a fine collection of pictures and sculpture. It is particularly rich in Tuscan paintings of the 14th-17th centuries. The Church of Santo Stéfano, in the same street, was badly damaged during the Second World War but was completely restored after the war. It has notable frescoes, including work by Masolino da Panicale (15th century).

In the center of Émpoli, in the arcaded Piazza Fárinata degli Uberti, with its Naiad Fountain, is the Collegiate Church of Sant'Andrea, which was originally founded in the fifth century but owes its present aspect to rebuilding in the 11th century (lower part) and the 17th and 18th centuries (upper part and campanile). It has a very beautiful facade with alternating bands of white and green marble.
