Hiking

At the foot of Montepulciano, the Temple of San Biagio represents a masterpiece of the Tuscan Renaissance. A work by Antonio da Sangallo the Elder, it is distinguished by the balance of its forms and the elegance of the travertine, perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape.

Hiking

The Church of the Madonna di San Biagio, located about a kilometer south-west below the city fortifications of Montepulciano, is one of the most impressive central buildings of the Tuscan Renaissance - probably Sangallo's masterpiece - and was built between 1518 and 1537.
