Attractions
- Chiesa di San Cristoforo , church in the town center. First documented in 1226, but the building probably dates from the 9th or 10th century. Contains a baptismal font made of marble by Lorenzo di Mariano ( Il Marrina , Siena 1476-1534), a fresco from the 16th century ( San Cristoforo, San Bernardino and San Sebastiano ) and a canvas picture from the workshop of Rutilio Manetti ( San Cristoforo and Santa Caterina d'Alessandria ).
- Cappella della Compagnia , chapel on the left of the Church of San Cristoforo. Contains a triptych ( San Pietro fra i Santi Paolo e Stefano ) by Icilio Federico Joni from 1940.
- Monumento ai Caduti , memorial for fallen resistance fighters of the municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga. The memorial is located not far from the Vagliagli cemetery and shows a picture of Bruno Bonci, who died here on June 12, 1944.
- Castello di Aiola , approx. 500 m northeast of Vagliagli, former castle on the former border of the republics of Florence and Siena, of which the foundations still exist. In 1554, in the conflict between the two republics, withstood the attackers from Florence under the leadership of Gian Giacomo Medici and only surrendered with the defeat of Siena. Was abandoned after that and fell apart. Today's Villa di Aiola was built at the end of the 17th century over the remains of the old fortifications and was documented in 1692. Of the four defense towers, only two remain today. The villa was acquired in 1934 by Giovanni Malagodi , who set up a winery here from the 1960s . The heirs kept the villa in the family until 2012. After that, the winery was taken over by a Russian investor.
- Pieve di San Romolo , former Pieve and today's ruins just north-east of Vagliagli and the Castello di Aiola, was mentioned as early as 1070 and is already located in the municipality of Radda in Chianti.
