The municipal territory of Scandicci extends for 59,59 square kilometres in the hilly area of Valdarno Fiorentino. The oldest mention of the capital goes back to 978 when the Countess Willa mother of the Marquis Ugo di Toscano, donated to the Fiorentina Abbey certain assets in the Val di Greve among which was the Scandicci Castle with the annexed church and thirty manses belonging to the same court. It is said that the castle (then called Scandicci Alto) was probably, since the Dark Ages, one of the many fortresses that belong to the feudal lineage of Cadolingi. Places to visit: S. Giusto, church with antique origins remade in the 1600s. S. Maria, parochial already mentioned in 1070, suffered various changes over the years, the most important in 1926. The interior preserves and Glass and Terracotta from the studio of Della Robbia. S. Martino alla Palma, outside the town, a very ancient church recorded from the X century and restructured in the 1700s.
