Today, it also serves as a starting point for breathtaking scenic hikes along the Wine Route of the Pisan Hills. It is also well known for truffles this is where the very first identity card of the Tuber Magnatum Pico (the Latin name for the white truffle) was created.

Palaia experienced a period of prosperity during which the Pieve di San Martino (13th century, 1279) and the Church of Sant’Andrea (1200s) were built.
Nearby is the village of Montefoscoli, home to the Museum of Rural Life and the Temple of Minerva Medica, known as a place of esoteric interest.
