Stone, gold and flowers: these are the elements that define the soul of Lucignano, one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy.
Stroll through the well-kept narrow streets of the historic centre and be charmed by the allure of this perfectly preserved and lively village. Admire its elliptical urban layout, one of the most interesting examples in Tuscany, protected by an imposing town wall.
Get lost in the labyrinth of streets and concentric alleys leading to the Piazza del Tribunale, the beating heart of the village. Witness scenes of daily life, events and moments of community: in Lucignano there is an authentic and welcoming atmosphere.
In Lucignano, however, the hidden wonder of the town is the Golden Tree or Tree of Life, a precious gold reliquary embellished with coral, unique in its kind, inside the Civic Museum. See also the two panels by Signorelli, the Madonna and Child and St Francis Receiving the Stigmata, and the other works of art housed in the museum.
Lucignano is also a land of churches and sanctuaries: visit the Collegiate Church of San Michele Arcangelo, the Church of San Francesco, the Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Querce, the Church of SS. Annunziata and the Church of San Biagio.
Don't miss the Maggiolata of Lucignano: an event famous throughout Italy, where spring takes shape in the cheerful floral floats and the town dresses up for the festivities amidst music, perfumes and the magic of colours.
