In the historical spa town of Bagno Vignoni, there is a small chapel dedicated to St Catherine of Siena, who, according to tradition, used to pray here. It is a simple place, but filled with a spiritual atmosphere.

A small rural chapel nestled in the Tuscan landscape, famous for its beauty and the meditative effect it arouses when observing its simplicity amidst the fields.

A small sacred place linked to the history of the Via Francigena, offering a moment of quiet reflection during a stroll through the ancient village.

One of the oldest churches in the area, located just outside the historic centre of Pienza. This Romanesque parish church is linked to the ancient history of the village (the ancient Corsignano) and reflects the rural religious tradition of the Val d’Orcia.

The village’s main church, dedicated to Saints Leonard and Christopher, is a Catholic place of worship with historical and artistic elements (medieval frescoes, religious art) that tell the story of local faith and spiritual history. Inside, there are works linked to popular devotion and to the history of the Benedictines and local saints.

In the hills just outside Pienza and Monticchiello, there are ancient traces of spiritual sites and places of meditation linked to saints and hermits, making the landscape an invitation to contemplation where nature and worship meet.
