Da sempre luogo ambito e piacevole, fu scelto nel passato da molte famiglie importanti della citt\u00e0 per costruirvi le proprie dimore. Alcuni storici locali dell\u2019Ottocento lo avevano definito come la \u201cFiesole dei pesciatini\u201d. L\u2019abitato, di cui si hanno notizie a partire dal 1237, sorgeva lungo una direttrice viaria importante per il traffico locale. Anche dal punto di vista militare,<strong>\u00a0la posizione del borgo era strategica<\/strong>: chiunque avesse avuto intenzione di minacciare la fortezza di Bareglia, chiave di accesso alla citt\u00e0, sarebbe stato avvistato in tempo da poter prevenire l\u2019attacco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">At the top of the hill we find the Romanesque-style rectory of Saints Bartholomew and Andrew and the adjacent building of the Compagnia dell'Opera di San Bartolomeo. The latter cannot be visited due to its precarious condition, despite consolidation work being carried out. The interior of the church is very simple in general style, with some Baroque elements. The remains of Maestro Giovanni Pacini (1796 \u2013 1867), an opera composer, musician of great importance and a very prolific author, rest in the Chapel of the Compagnia di San Bartolomeo. The Teatro della Citt\u00e0 di Pescia is named after him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-small-font-size\">Church of St. Bartholomew and Andrew<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"777\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolocopescia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/chiesa-map.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2245\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.2928461142563046;width:367px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolocopescia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/chiesa-map.png 777w, https:\/\/www.prolocopescia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/chiesa-map-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/www.prolocopescia.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/chiesa-map-768x594.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Built in Romanesque style, and recorded in the Valuation of the Diocese of Lucca from 1260 onwards, it was built over a pre-existing structure, likely an oratory or private chapel. The rectory has undergone numerous and significant renovations over the centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Adjacent to the bell tower is the building of the Opera di San Bartolomeo company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The interior of the church is simple with some Baroque elements. Upon entering, we are greeted by a single nave without an apse.
