HILLS >> CASENTINO

PRATOVECCHIO

Hometown of the painter Paolo Uccello, Pratovecchio is the headquarter of the Parco delle Foreste Casentinesi. The castle and the Pieve di Romena witness the importance of Pratovecchio during the Middle Ages, when it was the shunting station for the Camaldolesian wood going to Florence.
The Pieve di Romena, built in the 12th century on the ruins of an already existing building, is one of the most interesting examples of Romanesque art in the Casentino. The castle, built around the 11th century, preserves three towers and the remains of the boundary wall which have been restructured. In the surroundings you should visit the Abbazia di Santa Maria at Poppiera, the Monasterio di San Giovanni Evangelista and the Chiesa di San Romolo at Valiana.
