Montemurlo is a modern town that, in the last 30 years, has undergone considerable industrial and demographic development, with consequent changes in the economy, the territory and the culture.


Despite the continuous evolutions, Montemurlo has saved interesting historical and artistic testimonies on the surrounding hills of Monteferrato.


The town has its historic center on a hill dominating the valley.

On the highest point of the hill, surrounded by its centuries-old park, stands the Fortress of Montemurlo (14^th century), while in the small square of the village stands the Church of San Giovanni Decollato..


Worthy of note are the villas scattered throughout the municipal area and belonged to the richest Florentine families. We recommend Villa Pazzi al Parugiano, Villa Strozzi and Villa del Barone, private villas and only some that can be visited on request.


The municipal territory extends for 30.66 km² and has a population of 19,496 inhabitants (2021). The towns of Bagnolo and Oste are part of the municipality.
