The small village of Buonconvento is located within the municipality of Siena and rises along the ancient Via Francigena. It has a small but fascinating historic centre, where the main church, the town hall and two museums are located.

Let yourself be fascinated by the typical red brick architecture and the different picturesque corners to take some great photos!
