Hiking

The Badia di Bonsollazzo, today in a state of neglect, owes its name to the fortunate position on the always sunny side of a mountain. The religious complex was built at the beginning of the eighteenth century where once stood an older Benedictine construction, of which ruins can still be seen.

The first nucleus of the Badia was built before the year one thousand by the Marquis Ugo of Tuscany, then passed to the Benedictines and then to the Cistercians. Completely renovated in 1700 by Cosimo III, it is today, unfortunately, in a state of total abandonment.
