The city of Pescia has ancient medieval origins; divided by the river, it is clearly distinguished by two urban sectors: that of the Cathedral and that of the Town Hall, where the large square is located.

Ancient palaces and elegant churches characterize the historic center which, despite having undergone considerable interventions, still has its original shape.

To the east is the circular urban nucleus which originated from the Pieve di S. Maria, today the Cathedral; to the west, on the other hand, the nucleus of the civitas develops with a singular longitudinal urban design, with the square and the buildings of the municipal offices; the latter originated from the castle of Pescia which in the Middle Ages was under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Lucca.

The Ponte del Duomo unites these two clearly divided poles, the religious one and the civil one.

Pescia, due to its urban layout and its eventful history, has been considered the chief town of the Valdinievole since time immemorial.

Rich in documentary and artistic testimonies, Pescia still appears today a fascinating place where you can spend days among the surrounding green hills and the characteristic streets that tell a centuries-old tradition and history.
