We visited this abbey which is located at the foot of a hill. The location is nice and there are great pictures to be made while on the road leading to this abbey. We were a bit disappointed from the inside of the church which does not boast much decorations.

Abbazia di Sant'Antimo is a Romanesque Abbey located on land in Tuscany Region, in the center of Italy. It was built in the 12th Century, however there was other religious buildings, at least, since 8th Century in the place.

It was our first full day touring in Tuscany. Abbazia di Sant'Antimo was the first stop on our group's way to Montalcino.. The original building probably dates back to Charlemagne, but that cannot be verified. The walls are made gorgeous alabaster and contain some stained glass. The present church dates at least to 1118 as that is the date in an altar step and also in the column to the left. The interior has some interesting vegetable and animal motifs and "Daniel in the Lions' Den" by French Master of Cabestany. Since 1992 it has been reoccupied by a small group of Premonstratensian Canons Regular. It is worth a visit if you are in the area but I would not go out of my way to do so!…

We started Val d’Orcia tour from Montalcino down to abbey, Ricco d’Orcia, San Qinrico d’Orcia, pienza, to Montepulciano. Drive on S146 is nice. I am kind of disappointed for the 20 min drive to abbey. The view for another hill top city from abbey is nice but the abbey itself? Not sure why it’s worth the drive. I’d recommend from Montalcino go to San Quinrico d’Orcia directly…
