It served as a hermitage for St. Francis of Assisi during the 13th century, and its rural location offers a peace and serenity that can be hard to find elsewhere. The monastery is situated on a hill east of the city and is surrounded by ancient olive trees, which provide a picturesque backdrop for wandering. Inside its walls, one can explore its stunning chapel, which displays a magnificent array of frescoes and paintings. Other highlights include beautiful cloisters, steep staircases, and the 14th-century underground rooms which even now retain their medieval temple atmosphere. Le Celle offers visitors a unique opportunity to see a little piece of Tuscany’s past and experience the life of a hermit.
