The date of the foundation of the church of San Miniato is unknown. According to Lami, the church goes back to the year one thousand. The most ancient documents mentioning San Miniato date from 1224.
It is unlikely it was a rich church, in fact, in 1276, only two pounds and three money of tithe were paid as tax to support the pieve of Signa. In October of 1684, it was consecrated by Monsignor Morigia, the archbishop of Florence; in 1745, San Miniato became a priory.
In the same year, the Florentine Archbishop Monsignor Francesco Gaetano Incontri came on a pastoral visit, as is attested by the tombstone below the altar. For that occasion, the church was radically restored: the present aspect is due to that intervention.
The building presents a simple façade with a main doorway surmounted by a stone tympanumand decorated with the coat of arms of the Vespucci family, who was the ancient patron of the church. The interior has a single nave. On the inside wall, corresponding to the façade, is a sepulchral stone of the Bolognese Domenico Sebastiano Michelacci; the person who started the production of the famous straw hats of Signa (half of the 17th century).

On the left wall there is the chapel that was built in 1932 by E. Colzi, as the tombstone on the front reminds us. The altar, dedicated to the Virgin, is decorated by ceramics performed in the same year. It follows a large painting representing San Miniato (1992), by a painter from Signa, Alvaro Cartei.
Above the main altar we can see an 18th century wooden crucifix.
On the left side of the presbytery there is a tombstone commemorating the restoration of the church (1932), when the prior was Don Giovanni Squarcini; Dino Bandecchi and Giuseppe Colzi Rousseau, members of the more eminent families of the village, who supported the restoration. During the intervention, the original roof-trusses were discovered.
On the back wall we can find a copy of the Flagellazione di Cristo (The Scourge of Christ), by Domenico Fetti, an 18th century panel with God the Father supporting the body of Christ and a small renaissance stone ciborium.
The largeorgan dates from 1795, by the famous maestri organari pistoies (organ-builders from Pistoia); it is decorated with two angels, made of painted and gilded wood. The ancient apse was destroyed when the organ was put in.
On the right of the main altar is a relief representing the Madonna with the Child, by the sculptor Renato Bertelli from Lastra a Signa. At the end of the right nave is a christening font placed in a small niche and the “Baptism of Christ” by Paolo from Asnasch behind it.
