Buonconvento, Medieval commune in Province of Siena, Italy

Located 25 kilometers southeast of Siena, Buonconvento stretches across 64 square kilometers of Tuscan terrain at 147 meters above sea level.

The German emperor Henry VII died in Buonconvento in 1313, leading to the construction of defensive walls by the Republic of Siena in 1371.

The Museum of Sacred Art inside Palazzo Ricci displays significant works from Tuscan painters including Duccio di Buoninsegna and Pietro Lorenzetti.

The town provides railway connections to Siena and Florence, with local accommodations ranging from traditional hotels to countryside bed and breakfasts.
