San Leonardo al Lago, Monteriggioni, Religious hermitage and museum in Santa Colomba, Monteriggioni, Italy

San Leonardo al Lago features a stone facade with a round oculus, rounded arch portal, and narrow windows along its lateral walls.

The structure began as an Augustinian hermitage in 1119 near Lake Verano, and underwent reconstruction during the 13th and 14th centuries.

The church apse contains frescoes of the Life of the Virgin by Lippo Vanni, while the refectory displays a Crucifixion fresco by Giovanni di Paolo.
