The one-room interior houses the image of the <strong>Madonna del Soccorso<\/strong>, celebrated every year on the second Sunday in October.<\/p>\n<p>Nearby, th<strong>e Villa Da Cascina,<\/strong> an 18th-century building in late Neoclassical Baroque style with an elegant inner courtyard. A tower owned by the ancestors of the Da Cascina family stood here in the Middle Ages and was used as a military tower when the family was exiled from the city.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Marcianella<\/strong>,we find the beautiful <strong>small Church of San Miniato,<\/strong> in <strong>Pisan Romanesque style<\/strong> and with a single hall and verrucano limestone roof. Rectangular in shape with slit windows, it features a bell gable with bell on the fa\u00e7ade. Inside, a characteristic holy water stack rests on a granite column. Although documented in 1011, it appears to be of even older origin as it was built by the monks of San Michele in Verruca. The interior features a barrel vault and an altarpiece depicting the Madonna and Child by an artist of the Ghirlandaio school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7131,"parent":0,"template":"","tipo-attrazione":[1457],"filter-who":[1453,1455,1454,1452],"filter-time":[1448],"class_list":["post-52244","attrazione","type-attrazione","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipo-attrazione-attrazione-cultura-en","filter-who-couple","filter-who-family","filter-who-adults","filter-who-single","filter-time-1-hour"],"acf":[],"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":[{"locale":"it_IT","id":37836,"post_title":"Cascina | Marciana e Marcianella","href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/cascina-marciana-e-marcianella\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione\/52244","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\/7131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipo-attrazione","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-attrazione?post=52244"},{"taxonomy":"filter-who","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-who?post=52244"},{"taxonomy":"filter-time","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-time?post=52244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
