Basilica of Our Lady of Sorrows and St. Philip Benizi

The basilica stands on Monte Senario with white stone walls, tall bell towers, and baroque architectural elements throughout its structure.

The foundation of this religious complex dates back to 1234, when members of the Servite Order established their first monastery at this location.

The basilica maintains regular Catholic masses and religious ceremonies, serving as a central point for devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows.

Visitors can reach the basilica by taking a regional bus from Florence to Vaglia, followed by a local connection to Monte Senario.
