Cellole Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

If you are along the SP69, near San Gimignano, don't miss the small hamlet of Cellole with its parish church (originally dedicated to St. John the Baptist and later to Maria Assunta) surrounded by cypresses.
Born around the 10th-11th century, despite the various alterations over time, it retains its medieval style with the remains of frescoes, columns enriched with capitals and zoomorphic or geometric figures. But what is particularly suggestive, especially in the early morning or at sunset, is the silence and the sense of peace and solitude that reigns in its cool half-light.

View of Val d'Era

Highlight • Viewpoint

Visiting the lands of Pisa, you will find the Val d'Era, where you can immerse yourself in a landscape from another era, in which harmony and tranquility reign, and where small villages are hidden that keep history and art alive and culture.
