Lucignano
Municipal Museum
Probably of 13th-century origin, but heavily remodelled in the 14th century, Lucignano's Palazzo Comunale (formerly Palazzo Pretorio) has on one side of the building an ancient mechanical clock from 1730, placed by Roman clockmaker Antonio Giacchei to replace the previous one.

Church of St Francis
The Church of San Francesco, located in the square of the same name in Lucignano, is an important place of Catholic worship. Characterised by its Gothic architecture, it represents a religious and historical symbol for the town. Its central location makes it a significant destination for visitors wishing to discover the local cultural heritage.
Lucignano
Collegiate Church
The highest point of the hill where the Collegiate Church stands today must have been occupied already in Roman times by a temple, presumably not a particularly large one, dedicated to Diana Liciniana, which was replaced from the 4th-5th century by a Christian oratory dedicated to St Michael Archangel, which was later, around the 11th century, surrounded by a castle.
Lucignano
Cassero Tower
The ‘Residenza d'Epoca Il Cassero’ is an ancient palace, a national monument, with a tower from the 13th century and a large Italian garden. The Residenza is part of a 13th-century fortified town. The authentic architecture has been carefully preserved by the Moriani family so that each flat has the Tuscan atmosphere and style.
