FAUGLIA

Fauglia - Fauglia is a small Tuscan town, in the province of Pisa; It rises 91 meters above sea level and has 3,600 inhabitants. Situated on a hill, isolated in the spectacular nature of the Tuscan countryside, in the past it was an important location bitterly disputed between the cities of Pisa and Florence. Strolling along the streets of its historic center is a rather pleasant experience.

The small square next to the mother church, with its pleasant gardens and many small shops is certainly an ideal place to rest and relax. In Fauglia there are historic villas of considerable value, some of which, unfortunately, culpably in a state of neglect. The town hall and the church of San Lorenzo, both of the nineteenth century, are the buildings of Fauglia that have the greatest historical and cultural interest. Its fascinating medieval past re-emerges imperiously here and there from many side streets, as well as the Municipal Theater and the Kienerk Museum guarantee Fauglia a very respectable cultural level.
