Church of San Pantaleone in Pieve a Elici

Curiosity: inside the church there is a fresco with Jesus carrying the cross, but the painting is without a protective glass. This is because every time a lightning bolt was struck, it fell on the church and shattered it.

The parish church of San Pantaleone is a sacred building located in the locality of Pieve a Elici in the Municipality of Massarosa. On the site of the rectory there was to be found the castle documented in the 10th century as of Plebeilice, to which the retaining wall of the churchyard (demolished with the latest renovations) and a circular structure incorporated in the rectory, perhaps the base of a tower. In the small square between the parish church and the rectory there is a volcanic stone basin perhaps from the Roman era, probably originally linked to a productive activity.
