Sughera. Locality in the territory of Montaione in Tuscany
Tagged Under : Localities, Sughera
Sughera is a small village whose origins date back to 1186 relating to a castle that the German Emperor Henry VI gave to the Bishop of Volterra Ildebrando Pannocchieschi.
The church of Sughera, dedicated to Saints Peter and Cerbone, was rebuilt on the ruins of an ancient church of 1528.
Today at Sughera there is a restaurant, a few farmhouses and apartments. Of particular interest is the landscape of a row of cypress trees whose photographs have appeared on many books and magazines to represent the typical landscape of Tuscany.
