Small village with bars and grocery stores for refreshments and rest along the way

A very beautiful church tower. The climb is well worth it and offers a magnificent view of the entire city and the wonderful Tuscan countryside. Admission is €20 with the "Giotto Pass," which also includes several other entrance fees around the cathedral.

Florence Cathedral

The slender 84.70 m high bell tower with its octagonal corner struts was begun by Giotto in 1334 and continued by Pisano after his death. 414 steps lead up to the Campanile, the climb of which is rewarded with a magnificent view of Florence and its surroundings.

The climb to get to San Lorenzo is tiring, but the efforts are rewarded by the views and the tranquility of these hills.

One of the most worth seeing cathedrals.

Giotto's Bell Tower, 85 meters high and decorated with the same elegance as the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, offers an extraordinary panoramic view of Florence. The climb of 414 steps, punctuated by three panoramic levels, offers breaks and unique views of the city. Tickets available online or at the ticket offices near the Duomo.

Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso The history of the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso begins in 1283 when friar Giovanni da Panico dedicated a small oratory to the Virgin Mary in a cavity of the nearby Rupe, called Sasso di Glòsina. In 1787 the Sanctuary was closed due to the detachment of a large layer of sandstone. In 1831 the new sanctuary was rebuilt based on a design by Angelo Venturoli. The new façade, with a portico with three arches, is set back on the same level as the bell tower and the municipal clock tower, added in 1888 by the engineer Tito Azzolini. Destroyed by Allied bombing in April 1945; in 1950 the reconstruction based on a design by the engineer Paolo Graziani was concluded. The interior, with a single barrel-vaulted nave and three chapels on each side, houses the Madonna del Carmine with Saints within a sumptuous frame, dated 1674, and the Madonna Enthroned with Angels and Saints of the Neapolitan school (1734). The apse is decorated with a modern polychrome stained glass window with the Madonna and Child and a depiction of the church.
