Church from the 13th century, it was completely rebuilt in the 18th century. The eighteenth-century building was then destroyed during the Second World War and completely rebuilt, in its current form, in 1947-1948. It is located in the main square of Pontassieve
This church, "SAN MICHELE Arcangelo", was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally also with a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.
