Partly located on the slopes of Montalbano, the area of the Commune covers a typically Tuscan hillside landscape. It is criss-crossed by a network of hill-walking paths radiating out from the ridge to reach Limite or carry on as far as Capraia. Along the routes, which often follow the Roman lines of march of Montalbano, we can find religious buildings of great architectural note dating from Medieval times. Travellers should visit the Romanesque rural church of San Jacopo a Pulignano (only visible from the outside), and the Abbazia di San Martino in Campo which was built near Artimino around the year 1000.

On the hill of Bibbiani, to the East of Montereggi, the Frescobaldi family built a villa in the 16th century which was later transformed by Cosimo Ridolfi in the early 1800s into a "Romantic" park where Giacomo Puccini often stayed, and a botanical garden with 120 different species of trees (visits only with previous booking).

The history of Capraia and Limite is linked to the presence of an important waterway, the River Arno, which contributed to its continuity and promoted economical and cultural exchange.

From the 1500s it was also the river which gave the impulse to ship and boat production, aided by the presence in the area of thick woods of suitable trees, thus creating a tradition of "master axe-wielders" which has continued up to the present day with individual recognition on a national level of the skills used in production of sea-going vessels and competition ships in the shipyards which are still hard at work today. The link with the river also led to the creation of the Limite Rowing Club in 1861.
