Its origins seem to date back to Roman times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The bunk configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The layout of Treggiaia reveals its typical castle-like conformation, with access by a bridge that must once have been movable. The village is divided into two sectors: western and eastern. The latter was more fortified, containing the fortress and donjon. Here today we find the parish church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The settlement runs along a single street, which led from the gate to the lord&#8217;s palace and the fortress.\r\n\r\nTown planning changed radically in the 18th century with the modernisation of the old medieval buildings and the construction of new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to see in the surroundings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Villa Toscanelli<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearby is <strong>Villa Toscanelli<\/strong> (La Cava locality), owned by the Riccardi family since the mid-16th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current appearance of the villa dates back to two centuries later, when the park surrounding it was landscaped with great sensitivity. The park boasts a beautiful coniferous plantation with various fir, maple, cypress and other species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Sanctuary of the Madonna di Ripaia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A short walk from Treggiaia leads us to the <strong>Sanctuary of the Madonna di Ripaia<\/strong>, which dates back to the 13th century. The church has a sober gabled fa\u00e7ade with a beautiful portal in pietra serena, where the image of the Madonna and Child stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interior, with a single nave, has undergone renovations including a rectangular apse and a bell tower on the left side, as well as the opening of some Gothic-style windows. The church houses the 14th-century painting attributed to the Master of San Torp\u00e9 depicting the Madonna di Ripaia, an object of great devotion by the local population. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":50813,"parent":0,"template":"","tipo-attrazione":[],"filter-who":[],"filter-time":[],"class_list":["post-52203","attrazione","type-attrazione","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":[{"locale":"it_IT","id":48940,"post_title":"Pontedera | Il borgo di Treggiaia","href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/pontedera-treggiaia\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione\/52203","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\/50813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipo-attrazione","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-attrazione?post=52203"},{"taxonomy":"filter-who","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-who?post=52203"},{"taxonomy":"filter-time","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-time?post=52203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
