Madonna di Vitaleta chapel, Renaissance church in San Quirico d'Orcia, Italy.
The Madonna di Vitaleta chapel stands between two lines of cypress trees on a hilltop in the Val d'Orcia region of Tuscany.
Built on the site of an ancient tabernacle, the chapel received a statue of the Virgin Mary by Andrea della Robbia in 1553, now preserved in San Quirico.
The chapel represents a central element of religious devotion with an annual celebration taking place on the first Sunday of September.
Visitors can reach the chapel by following the Strada Provinciale 146 from San Quirico d'Orcia to Pienza and walking one kilometer from the parking area.
The chapel's white Rapolano stone facade underwent restoration in 2021, returning the structure to its original 16th-century architectural specifications.
