Holiday apartment in Buggiano: culture, trails and local delights

Buggiano is a destination for you if you would like to combine historic art, trails for walking or cycling, and regional impressions. The historic centre of Borgo a Buggiano is rich in historic and artistic monuments. This places a cultural focus at the forefront, which can be combined with active and pleasurable travel ideas.

Art and history in Borgo a Buggiano

The Museo Parrocchiale del Santissimo Crocifisso opened in 1982. It displays sacred furnishings, liturgical objects and vestments from the 15th to the 19th century. Visitors are asked to make a prior request – a detail you can take into account when planning your day. The period from the 15th to the 19th century gives a visit to the museum its own distinct historical context.

The Chiesa di Santa Marta is a single-nave, Baroque-style church with rich stucco decoration. Since 1924, it has served as a memorial chapel for those who fell in the war. The church also contains a depiction of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary by Alessandro Bardelli. For those interested in culture, Alessandro Bardelli’s depiction of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary can provide a particular point of interest within the church.

The Oratorio del Giglio is located in the immediate vicinity of the historic centre of Borgo a Buggiano and houses a fresco of the Madonna della Neve from the Giotto school. The oratory is believed to date from the second half of the 16th century.

The Convento di Santa Maria in Selva was founded in 1272 and has been run by Augustinian friars since its foundation.
