Montecatini Alto (Montecatini Val di Nievole) Attractions
About 260m/285yd above the thermal bath, on the top of a hill, is the old-world village of Montecatini Val di Nievole (usually called Montecatini Alto). It can be reached either by funicular from Montecatini Terme or by road.
Montecatini Alto - Grotta Maona
On the road from Montecatini Terme to the old town is the entrance to the Grotta Maona, a stalactitic cave discovered in the 19th century. There are only scanty remains of the old Castle of Montecatini Alto. The Church of San Pietro, originally Romanesque, was remodeled in the Baroque style; adjoining the church is a small museum of sacred art.
