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.

Beautiful photo and fascinating abbey. Photographed on a weekday, right? Why Sunday is worse than flies on honey ...

Hi Francesco, well found. You guessed it, weekday at the beginning of June and I've been struggling to find the right time. There was even a German bus loaded with photographers on trips ... I let you imagine that confusion :-D
Thank you for your visit and comment.

A very beautiful glimpse of Marco just stoning that cypress in front of the abbey tower. Very nice photos in any case :-).
In warm greeting, Claudio :-P

Thank you Giovanni, I have been several days in the area and only that day there was some cloud, for the rest always the usual monochrome blue sky ;-)
A greeting.
