Pieve di San Lazzaro a Lucardo

The Parish Church of San Lazzaro a Lucardo stands in the countryside of Certaldo, on the road towards Fiano. The Romanesque building tells the story of the Valdelsa’s rural churches and the role these parish churches played in religious organisation and the life of local communities.

Its three-aisled structure and architectural details deserve a stop, together with the landscape visible from the forecourt. It can be combined with exploring the hills around Certaldo; any visit inside should be arranged according to the church’s opening arrangements.
