HILLS >> VALDELSA

CASTELFIORENTINO

Further down the valley of Certaldo you get to Castelfiorentino, the capital of the Valdelsa and an important industrial centre. Founded by the Romans, it still preserves some remains of the medieval fortified walls and two towers. In the lower part of the village you can visit the Chiesa di Santa Verdiana, a marvellous example of religious architecture from the 18th century, embellished with frescoes and paintings.
In the Raccolta Comunale d’Arte you find frescoes by Benozzo Gozzoli taken from the Cappella della Visitazione and from the Cappella della Madonna della Tosse. Also visit the Pieve dei Santi Ippolito e Biagio, from the XII to the XIII century and with a brick façade and parts in ceramics.
