Montevarchi, Administrative commune in Upper Arno Valley, Italy
Montevarchi extends across a prehistoric lake basin near the hills separating the Arno Valley from the Chianti region at 144 meters elevation.
The settlement emerged around 1100 near a Benedictine monastery, initially belonging to Marquis Bourbon del Monte before passing to Florence in 1273.
The Museum of Sacred Art contains the Tempietto Robbiano, a chapel with glazed terracottas created by Andrea della Robbia between 1490 and 1499.
The town maintains its position as a manufacturing center for clothing production while operating hydroelectric and thermoelectric power plants.
The Paleontology Museum displays 1,600 fossils from Upper Valdarno, documenting local fauna from three million years ago.
