Badia a Coltibuono, Romanesque monastery in Gaiole in Chianti, Italy.
The San Lorenzo Abbey features a Latin cross layout with a semicircular apse and a stone bell tower constructed in 1160.
The Firidolfi family established the monastery in 1049 and transferred it to Saint Giovanni Gualberto in 1051 for Vallombrosian monks.
The monastery's interior displays late Baroque decorations with frescoes, canvases, and stucco work throughout its architectural elements.
The abbey offers guided tours between May and October from 2 PM to 5 PM daily, with basic visits costing 5 euros per person.
A monumental Cedar of Lebanon tree stands in the Italian garden, measuring 20 meters high and 7 meters in diameter.
