The <strong>sandstone rock<\/strong> is criss-crossed by tunnels, possibly dating back to <strong>Etruscan<\/strong> or probably medieval times, that were used as shelters in wartime. Around Montecchio, the remains of the ancient <strong>Temple of Ortaglia<\/strong>, which was destroyed by fire, have been found and are on display at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/attrazione\/peccioli-archeological-museum\/\">Archaeological Museum of Peccioli<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is characterised by its particular urban conformation as a former castle: while some of the dwellings retain the architectural style of the 13th and 14th centuries, the apse of the small church was carved out of one of its towers.\r\nThe <strong>church of Santa Lucia and Pancrazio<\/strong> is located at the highest point of the village known as &#8216;Cantinaccia&#8217;. The very simple, plastered fa\u00e7ade ends in a gable and was rebuilt in 1881 along with the reconstruction of the large bell tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The small <strong>Palm Sunday Church<\/strong> is located at the highest point of the village, known as &#8216;<strong>Cantinaccia<\/strong>&#8216;. It takes this curious name because mass is only celebrated here on this feast day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Montecchio is also home to &#8216;<strong>Rilievi<\/strong>&#8216;, a permanent work by <strong>Umberto Cavenago<\/strong> created in 1996. It consists of a series of octagonal bronze elements, placed on the pavement of the town&#8217;s main street and in precise positions obtained from the survey carried out by a team of geo-biologists hired by the artist to study the terrain. The technicians were tasked with surveying the &#8216;<strong>Hartmann network<\/strong>&#8216;: a system of lines forming a square-meshed grid with its points of intersection, known as &#8216;radiating nodes&#8217;. As in Feng Shui, geobiology provides the cue to reorganise the orientations of objects within one&#8217;s domestic space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":49222,"parent":0,"template":"","tipo-attrazione":[],"filter-who":[],"filter-time":[],"class_list":["post-52280","attrazione","type-attrazione","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":[{"locale":"it_IT","id":49220,"post_title":"Peccioli | Montecchio","href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/peccioli-borgo-di-montecchio\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione\/52280","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\/49222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipo-attrazione","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-attrazione?post=52280"},{"taxonomy":"filter-who","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-who?post=52280"},{"taxonomy":"filter-time","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-time?post=52280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
