Via San Giuseppe, Villamagna

Highlight • Settlement

The first mention of Villamagna dates back to January 780 when a Lombard merchant native to the village, but residing in Pisa, donated some of his possessions to the abbey of Palazzuolo di Monteverdi Marittimo. Historic domain of the Cavalcanti, the latter were forced in May 1199 to surrender their rights over the castle and the village to the consuls of the municipality of Volterra.

In 1530 the village was sacked by the Florentine militias commanded by Alessandro Vitelli, and shortly after it was hit by a serious epidemic of bubonic plague that decimated the population.

Pieve of San Martino di Palaia

Highlight • Religious Site

The parish was founded in 1280. The brick building is decorated with hanging arches; the interior consists of three naves with round arches, with columns partly round and partly composed of four half columns linked in a single block. The facade is enlivened by pointed openings.

The coexistence of Romanesque and Gothic elements suggests that the church was built in two successive phases. It is assumed that the architect of the parish church may have been Andrea Pisano, already known for having melted the first door of the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence in 1330.

Inside there is the 12th century cylindrical stoup.
