Casole d'Elsa
Description
Casole d'Elsa is perched on a hill on the South-East part of Val d'Elsa.
In the past Casole d'Elsa was theatre of the struggles between the two republics of Florence and Siena for the quarrel of the village that ended, in 1554, with the victory of the Florentine troops and the successive annexing to the village to the domains of Florence, being this latter under the Medici's Grand Dukedom.
Among the most important monuments to see in Casole d'Elsa we point out here the Collegiata (Collegiate Church), the Canonica (Canon), the Chiesa di Santo Spirito (Holy Spirit Church), the Chiesa di San Pietro (Saint Peter Church), the Chiesa di San Niccolò (Saint Nicholas Church) and the Palazzo Pretorio (Praetorian Palace).
