Certosa di Maggiano, Renaissance Carthusian monastery in Siena, Italy.
The monastery complex contains a medieval chapel, gardens, and cloisters surrounded by the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside.
Cardinal Riccardo Petroni established this monastery in 1316, marking the beginning of Carthusian presence in the Siena region.
The monastery demonstrates the influence of Renaissance architecture through its symmetrical design, ornate stone carvings, and vaulted ceilings.
Visitors need to make advance reservations to access the chapel, which now operates as part of a luxury hotel with 18 rooms.
The original medieval chapel hosts contemporary art installations while maintaining its religious architectural elements from the 14th century.
