MARLIANA

Located in the middle of the chestnut forests, Marliana dominates the valleys of the rivers Vincio and Fievole, with its powerful castle from the 13th century. The old castle was demolished in 1177 during the war against Montecatini, but was rebuilt in few years. After having had an important role in the fights between Lucca and Pistoia for the domination of the area, Marliana experienced a peaceful period under the Florentines.
The village was built around the church San Niccolo in the 14th century, which still preserves its fascination from the past. The Oratory of Sant'Antonio Abate was raised in the 17th century and features precious religious artworks and hosts several cultural events.
