Badia San Savino

The San Savino Abbey features two distinct floors with warehouses and cellars below, while monk quarters occupy the upper level of the structure.

Founded in 780, the abbey transitioned from Benedictine to Camaldolese control before receiving military fortifications to protect the religious settlement.

The church interior displays a Latin cross layout with a single nave, cross vaults, and contains a holy water stoup made from Etruscan funerary stone.

The abbey holds daily masses at 5:00 PM in winter and 6:00 PM in summer, with additional Sunday services at 8:00 AM, 9:00 AM, and 11:00 AM.

Ancient engravings on the churchyard wall include references to the 13th-century cloister foundation and inscriptions from the noble Della Gherardesca family.
