Crete Senesi

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Crete Senesi, a wonderful area south-east of the city of Siena, welcomes you with breathtaking landscapes characterized by a suggestive blue-grey colour, given by the outcropping of clay from the ground. Here, you can admire enchanting cultivated fields, picturesque granaries, rustic stone farmhouses, lush olive groves and vineyards, magnificent rows of cypresses and viewpoints that will take your breath away.

The dirt road of Monte Sante Marie, between Asciano and Torre a Castello, is a demanding climb, which has become famous thanks to sporting events such as L'Eroica and the Strade Bianche. It has steep slopes, but the effort repays with wonderful views.

This treasure trove of art and history offers numerous monuments and two highly appreciated museums: the Palazzo Corboli Museum and the Cassioli Museum. Furthermore, between the towns of Leonina and Mucigliani stands the Site Transitoire, a stone work by Jean-Paul Philippe.
