A Stroll through History in Sant’Agata
At the foot of the Tusco-Romagnolo Apennines, beneath the ancient pass of Osteria Bruciata, lies a small village where time seems to flow slowly, and where everything tells the story of a rich past.
The village is situated along an ancient Etruscan and medieval road, and its structure, still remarkably original, is among the best-preserved in all of Mugello. Even more remarkable is the Romanesque parish church, perfectly maintained, simple in structure yet imposing and rich in decorative details dating back to the Roman era.
During the day, we will explore this small corner of Tuscany, visit the Archaeological Documentation Center (entrance fee €5.00), enjoy lunch with panoramic views of Mugello, and finally discover the fascinating reconstruction of Sant’Agata in the small Leprino Museum!
