Antica abbazia abitata da monaci benedettini. La costruzione originaria risale all'epoca del Sacro Romano Impero e si ritiene che la prima cappella sia stata addirittura fondata dall'imperatore Carlo Magno da cui prese ilnome di cappella carolingia, ora adibita a sacrestia dell'attuale chiesa che invece risale al XII secolo. Dal 1118, grazie ad una importante donazione di una famiglia nobile locale l'abbazia diventa uno dei più ricchi e prestigiosi luoghi sacri della regione con possedimenti religiosi e castelli in tutti i dintorni. In seguito alla politica espansionistica di Siena, perde in seguito il castello della vicina Montalcino e inizia un lento ma insesorabile periodo di decadenza che porta alla perdita di quasi tutti i possedimenti e al declino del complesso monastico fino al 1870, anno in cui un importante lavoro di restauro riporta la chiesa all'aspetto odierno. Sullo sfondo si vede il bordo medioevale di Castelnuovo dell'Abate, un tempo possedimento dell'Abbazia. Come sempre sono graditi commenti e critiche costruttive.

Hi Ivan, thanks for the comment and sharing. Unfortunately this is the case, often it happens that interesting and scenic monuments do not allow you to make pictures as you would like for the presence of trees grown just adjacent to the walls. If you've watched my gallery maybe you saw the shot at night at the Monteruzzo Castle, also featured by the presence of a tree that despite various attempts could not be ruled out ;-)
A greeting.
Marco

A place to stay if you go to Val d'Orcia ;-)
If you are in the area I would also recommend Bagni san Filippo.
Thank you for your welcome comment Luca.

Beautiful PDR. Begin to know how to tamper with tokina ;-)
Maybe with a few steps left, you would not have the cypress in front of the bell tower 8-)

Unfortunately cypress is just attached to the bell tower. Also there were several tourists around that I tried to exclude from the view.
Thanks for the welcome comment Rinaldo :-)
Ps.il tokina unfortunately I just sold it to switch to FF.
