The Temple of Minerva Medica is a historic building located on a hill inside a small holm oak grove near the town of Montefoscoli, in the province of Pisa.

It was built around 1822 by the will of Andrea Vaccà Berlinghieri, doctor and luminary of the University of Pisa. The intention was to dedicate a monument to his father Francesco, also a doctor, also celebrating his profession with a dedication to the goddess of medicine Minerva.
