Tuscan Abbeys and Monasteries

Abbeys, Basilicas, Monasteries, Hermitages and Parish Churches of Tuscany

Abbeys of Tuscany

The Abbeys, Basilicas and Monasteries of the Tuscan countryside and villages are sometimes overlooked as we enthusiastically feast on the masterpieces in the churches of Florence, Sienna and the other "art" cities of Tuscany. In fact there are Abbeys, Basilicas, Monasteries, Hermitages and Parish Churches in every corner of Tuscany, many of them of great architectural beauty and interest, and often in wonderful locations. One or two, such as the Abbey of San Galgano, are ruins, but most are very well-preserved and often fulfilling their religious purposes to this day. Gregorian Chant may still be heard several times a day at Sant'Antimo and some monasteries offer accommodation.
