Santa Maria di Mirteto, Religious building ruin in Monte Pisano, Italy.
The Santa Maria di Mirteto complex consists of a Romanesque church, monastery structures, rustic residences, granaries, and an olive press at 300 meters above sea level.
The monastery, documented since 1150, received recognition through Pope Gregory IX's papal bull in 1227, confirming the presence of a Cistercian monastic community.
The church features early medieval sculptural decorations, three single-lancet windows on the southern wall, and three in the apse, representing Pisan Romanesque architectural elements.
The site is accessible through a hiking trail starting from Asciano village, following the water sources path alongside a stream for approximately three kilometers.
The monastery complex was inhabited until the 1950s, with the church serving as a private oratory for the Ricci family in 1812 before its complete abandonment.
