San Lazzaro

The Pieve di San Lazzaro displays thick stone walls, round arches, and sturdy pillars, marking the traditional Romanesque architectural elements of medieval religious buildings.

The church emerged during the period when Certaldo developed under Florentine influence, following the town's transfer from the Alberti Counts in the 12th century.

The structure represents the religious architecture of central Italy, where churches served as gathering spaces for community worship and social interaction.

Visitors can reach the church while exploring the medieval section of Certaldo, accessible by foot or funicular railway from Piazza Boccaccio.

The church maintains its original Romanesque features without later Gothic modifications, preserving the pure architectural style of medieval Tuscan religious buildings.
