This beautiful church is all that remains of a Benedictine monastery supposedly founded in the time of Charlemagne although construction of the current church apparently started in 1118. If you look at the altar step you can see an inscription with this date. It has a lovely, stark Romanesque feel inside but it's the outside aspect that's particularly appealing. In a lovely setting surrounded by greenery it's stone seems to glow honey-like in the afternoon sun. When you reach the fork in the approach road where you should turn right turn left for a couple of hundred yards for the best distance photos before retracing your steps. What a lovely spot. We visited as part of a circle trip to Montalcino, the Abbey and the delightful Bagno Vignoni, making for a superb day.
