Along the provincial road that goes up from Pistoia towards Acquerino, at the end of a climb and in a strategic and very panoramic position, stands the Parish Church of San Giovanni Evangelista in Montecuccoli di Valdibure, a hamlet of Pistoia. It is the most important church in the area that has survived to this day, and still clearly reveals its function as a fortified citadel. According to a popular legend, the parish church of Montecuccoli was built by Countess Matilde of Canossa.
The layout is Romanesque and very suggestive.
