Quarrata, Commune in Province of Pistoia, Italy
Quarrata extends across 46 square kilometers of terrain at the base of Montalbano hills, encompassing fifteen distinct residential subdivisions throughout its territory.
The name Quarrata originated during Roman times from 'quadrata', referring to the geometric land plots Romans created for systematic territorial organization.
The municipality maintains strong connections to Tuscan traditions through local festivals, including a Good Friday procession that occurs every three years.
The town center provides essential services while maintaining convenient access to Florence, located 30 kilometers east, and Pistoia, situated 10 kilometers north.
Villa La Magia, a medieval structure transformed into a Medici hunting lodge in 1583, stands as the primary architectural monument of the commune.
