Italian Garden and Time Outdoors
The Parco Comunale di Gambassi Terme is a visitor attraction in the heart of the medieval town centre. It preserves the layout of an Italian garden with regular paths, well-maintained hedges and impressive avenues of holm oaks. Its shaded areas offer opportunities for walks, relaxation and outdoor activities; a dedicated play area is intended for children. In this way, alongside longer walks, it also provides a quieter way to spend time outdoors.
Romanesque Architecture and Archaeology
The Pieve di Santa Maria a Chianni is one of the best-preserved examples of late Romanesque architecture in Tuscany. It has three naves separated by columns and round arches in the style of Pisan Romanesque rural churches.
