Churches and places of worship Casentino

The Monastery of Camaldoli represents a complex built during the sixteenth century that rises on the banks of one of the branches of the Archiano River. The works were completed in 1611 and included an ancient hospice or guest house, a church and a monastery. In front of the entrance to the main building is a monumental fountain built by Ambrogio Traversari in reference to the richness and quality of the renowned waters of Camaldoli.

The facade is inspired by a rigorous neoclassical style and shows a templar front marked by four semi-columns on a high base and rectangular niches and semicircular windows on the sides of the entrance. The interior consists of a single nave beautifully decorated in stucco and frescoes by Giuseppe Parenti.
