San Martino alla Palma

San Martino alla Palma church exhibits robust stone walls, semi-circular arches, and traditional architectural elements characteristic of medieval religious buildings in Tuscany.

The church's establishment dates back to 988 when the Marquises of Tuscany donated the site to a priest named Guberto, who maintained another local church.

The church houses a significant Madonna and Child altarpiece painted between 1310 and 1320 by the Master of San Martino alla Palma, a follower of Bernardo Daddi.

The church maintains regular opening hours for religious services and visitors can access information about tours through the local tourism office in Scandicci.

An organ designed by Antonio Ducci was installed in 1836, adding musical capabilities to the religious ceremonies performed in the church.
