Tips

The oak is absolutely spectacular, it is located along the main road so the visit does not take you more than 5 min.
The place is well kept, the oak is fenced to prevent the machines from compacting the ground. It is also delimited by a circle of stones that I ask you not to cross, the most common cause of suffering for monumental trees is precisely the compacting of the ground due to visits. You will be able to caress it even without stepping on the ground around the root collar, the most susceptible part.

A national monument, the oak is more than 370 years old.

A real living arboreal monument that you come across along the Provincial Road 53 of the Val d'Orcia, a less busy alternative to the Cassia to go up to the Rocca di Radicofani, along the route of the Via Francigena.
