The village lies on a hill and is characterized by its being traversed by a single road, overlooked by houses and small squares.
The points of interest in the village are the bell tower of the old church, the Town Hall and the Church of San Lorenzo, while in the Piazza del Mercato some old warehouses for the storage of grains are striking.
The Church of San Lorenzo, already mentioned in 1251, collapsed following the earthquake of 1846, but was immediately built back. Today the building has a simple neoclassical facade and an interior divided into three naves; among the works preserved inside are a beautiful painted terracotta relief depicting the revered image of the “Madonna del Soccorso”, the altar of the Crucifix, made of polychrome marble in the 18th century, the “Madonna del Rosario” (18th century) and the 18th-century painting depicting “San Lorenzo”, attributed to Luigi Secchi from Pisa.
Elegant villas are also a hallmark of the town, chosen as a favorite place for intellectuals and literary figures, and among them Villa Trovarsi stands out, inhabited by the famous actress Marta Abba, closely linked to the playwright and writer Luigi Pirandello.
The Giorgio Kienerk Museum is housed in the 19th-century building of Fauglia's former magistrate’s court, inside what were once prison cells. It was created to preserve the works of the painter Kienerk of the period after the Macchiaioli - oil paintings, bas-reliefs, sculptures, engravings and lithographs - donated by his daughter Vittoria to the community of Fauglia. The artist, born in Florence in 1869, spent many years here, at the Villa at Via Poggio alla Farnia, his country home, where he died in 1948. During his lifetime Kienerk immortalized the hills around the village in several works, which can be seen in the museum.
