Siena (11 Km)

Ex Monastero di S.Girolamo in Campansi

The Former Monastery of S. Girolamo in Campansi founded its origins in the homonymous convent that was built in 1430, on the houses that were located in Via Campansi in Siena. Sixty-seven Franciscan religious settled in the convent and in 1683 the church was built that always takes the name of Saint Jerome. In the following years, the nuns shared the rooms with the Shelter of Mendicity and in the last period of the nineteenth century two new plans used for the men section were built. It is worth noting inside several frescoes attributed to Sano di Pietro and Girolamo di Benvenuto.

Siena (11 Km)

Fortezza Medicea

The Medici Fortress was built between 1561 and 1563, at the behest of Cosimo I de' Medici on the ground where the Spanish citadel previously stood. The architect Baldassarre Lanci originally gave it an 'L' shape and later turned it into a quadrilateral structure. The brick fort is composed in the corners of cuneiform ramparts on which the Medici travertine coat of arms is affixed. Since 1937 the structure has been transformed into a public garden and today it also hosts several cultural events.

Siena (11 Km)

Piazza San Francesco

Piazza San Francesco is located between the bump of Castellaccia and the Borgo d'Ovile in Siena. It was initially located outside the urban walls, but after the Franciscans settled in the thirteenth century there was an expansion of the spaces. It was accessed through the Arch of San Francesco decorated with fourteenth-century statuettes. Currently in the square we also find other structures such as that of the oratory of San Bernardino and that of Saints Ludovico and Gherardo.

Siena (11 Km)

Palazzo Gori Pannilini

Palazzo Gori Pannilini was built around 1501, it originally belonged to the Montanini and later to the Aringhieri. During 1522 it was greatly expanded by Paolo Salvetti. In 1677, it was renewed at the behest of Pope Alexander VII Chigi, who wanted to give it to his granddaughter Olimpia pro cinta to marry Giulio de' Gori. Towards the beginning of the twentieth century, the palace lost its value as a noble residence and became the seat of the Hotel Continental, still preserving numerous picturesque decorations, including those of Giovanni. Battista Marchetti.

Siena (14 Km)

Eremo di San Leonardo al Lago

The Hermitage of San Leonardo al Lago has an ancient history and is linked to the presence of a hermit community that settled on the slopes of the hill, not very far from Siena, in 1112. The Romanesque church dates back to 1239 and was erected above the pre-existing oratory. In 1250 the convent was joined to the nearest one of San Salvatore di Lecceto, thus constituting the Leccetan congregation of the Hermits. Towards the 17th century, the church renewed the interior with Baroque altars and pictorial furnishings, while still preserving the frescoes of great cultural and spiritual value.

Castellina in Chianti (19 Km)

Pieve di Sant'Agnese in Chianti

Since 1046, the parish church of Sant'Agnese is located inside a fortified complex, which includes the chapel of the company, the bell tower, the rectory and the cloister. The façade was rebuilt respecting the original profile, while the interior is presented in the form conferred after the last war and consists of three naves divided by five arches resting on pillars. South of the cloister there is a bell tower that in the past was a tower of defense.
