Romanesque churches and historic villas in San Pancrazio

Well-preserved apses can still be seen at the Pieve di San Pancrazio; the building has Romanesque origins. The Del Pugliese family had the Cappella di San Giovanni built in 1563.

The historic architecture includes Villa Guicciardini in San Pancrazio, a 15th-century villa, and Villa Il Corno in San Pancrazio, which has medieval origins. The Chiesa di San Lorenzo stands on the Fattoria Castelvecchio estate in San Pancrazio. Documentary evidence for this church dates back to the middle of the 12th century; it is also Romanesque. The Fattoria is located especially in the Chianti Colli Fiorentini subzone of the Chianti DOCG production area. Villa Guicciardini and Villa Il Corno thus lead from a 15th-century building to medieval origins. The Fattoria is also connected with the Chiesa di San Lorenzo and the Chianti Colli Fiorentini subzone of the Chianti DOCG.
