Chiesa della Madonna di Vitaleta, Renaissance chapel in San Quirico d'Orcia, Italy.

The Chiesa della Madonna di Vitaleta, also known as the Chiesa di San Francesco, stands in the historic centre of San Quirico d'Orcia, not on a hilltop. Built between 1867 and 1870 on the remains of the convent of San Francesco, it has a façade in filaretto of travertine with an oculus above the entrance door. Inside is a single nave with four side altars.

The church was built on the remains of the convent of San Francesco, and the new sanctuary was erected between 1867 and 1870. In 1870 the Madonna Annunciata attributed to Andrea Della Robbia was moved here from the rural chapel of Vitaleta, which gave the church its name.

The church is also called di San Francesco because it was built on the remains of the convent of San Francesco. Its main altarpiece, the Madonna Annunciata attributed to Andrea Della Robbia (early 16th century), was moved here in 1870 from the rural chapel of Vitaleta, which gave the church its name.

The church stands in the historic centre of San Quirico d'Orcia, in the province of Siena, so it is reached on foot through the town's streets rather than by a country path. It belongs to the Archdiocese of Siena-Colle di Val d'Elsa-Montalcino. Look for the travertine filaretto facade with an oculus above the entrance door.
