Tradition has it that the church of 1201 was built on a pre-existing temple dedicated to the god Saturn<\/strong>. This could explain the atypical layout with a single large nave but no apse, choir or presbytery.<\/em><\/p>\n

The hanging bell tower<\/h2>\n

The peculiarity of this Romanesque church<\/strong> is the hanging bell tower that rests entirely on a brick column that acts as a base.<\/p>\n

The interior<\/strong> houses works of artistic interest: a painted Madonna by Andrea della Robbia, a wooden crucifix on the high altar by Andrea Pisano, another wooden but painted crucifix on the left chapel, of the 14th-century Sienese school.<\/p>\n

The Rocca and the medieval castle<\/h2>\n

From the church square we climb up to the Rocca<\/strong>, the highest point of the village. This was the site of the medieval castle known as “Mons Magnifrido”, recorded in a document from 986 with the square-based Cittadella fortress and crenellated walls.<\/p>\n

All that remains of the Rocca are a few ruins, from which you can admire one of the most beautiful views over the Valdera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9435,"parent":0,"template":"","tipo-attrazione":[1457],"filter-who":[1453,1454,1452],"filter-time":[1448],"class_list":["post-10345","attrazione","type-attrazione","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipo-attrazione-attrazione-cultura-en","filter-who-couple","filter-who-adults","filter-who-single","filter-time-1-hour"],"acf":[],"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":[{"locale":"it_IT","id":7291,"post_title":"Palaia | Chiesa romanica di Sant'Andrea","href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/palaia-chiesa-sant-andrea\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione\/10345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attrazione"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipo-attrazione","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-attrazione?post=10345"},{"taxonomy":"filter-who","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-who?post=10345"},{"taxonomy":"filter-time","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-time?post=10345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
