Sant'Antimo Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The Abbey of Sant'Antimo, built by Charlemagne, is a silent portal to bygone eras. It stands majestically among the rolling hills of the Val d'Orcia, offering a peaceful refuge to travellers. It is a masterpiece of medieval architecture from the 12th century, and it is also possible to stay overnight in the monastic guesthouse of Castelnuovo dell'Abate.

San Quirico d'Orcia — Historic Town

Highlight • Historical Site

San Quirico is located on a small rise and has preserved its 12th century ramparts and monumental gates. Late in the Middle Ages the place gained importance thanks to the Via Francigena that ran through the Orcia valley and reached the city. San Quirico was Sigeric's 12th stop.

Historic town of Montalcino

Highlight • Settlement

Montalcino, a medieval village in the province of Siena, is a place that invites you to immerse yourself in a slow tourism experience. Its trails, such as the Brunello Crossing and the Granfondo del Brunello, offer the opportunity to explore the region both on foot and on two wheels. The well-preserved historic center of Montalcino can be explored on foot without difficulty. As you approach Montalcino, don't miss its fortress, one of the main attractions of the Val d'Orcia.

Montalcino Fortress

Highlight • Castle

The historic center of Montalcino is dominated by the mighty Rocca, a fortress built in 1361 to mark the passage of the city under the dominion of Siena. The panorama that can be enjoyed from the ramparts of the fortress is truly spectacular; it goes from Monte Amiata, through the Crete up to Siena, and crosses the whole Val d'Orcia up to the Maremma hills.
