empoli excursions

Empoli appears in documents of the 8th century as a castle, but the city was recognised in 1119 as organised around the Parish church of SantíAndrea. Today the town is still organised around Piazza Farinata degli Uberti where the most important historical buildings of the city are to be found: the Palazzo Ghibellino, which houses the Museo Paleontologico and the Archivio Storico, and the Palazzo Pretorio, which was at one time the town hall. But the most noteworthy building, both for its age and importance, is the Collegiata di SantíAndrea, which dates back to 1093. The two-tone marble facade marks the furthest western reach of the aristocratic architectural influence of the Florentine Romanesque style.
