As if suspended in time, the urban core, a handful of houses marked by narrow alleys, arches, churches, archaeological finds and small open spaces, is a paradise for those seeking a journey of tranquility and peace.
The history that it carries behind it is full of important traces that can be discovered among the alleys simply by raising your eyes to capture aspects, details, images that evoke the past existence of the ancient inhabitants.
Once we reach the center of the town we discover the Pieve di San Martino that protects the remains of the Blessed Giovanni and the unique loggia that accompanies us to one of the open doors in the walls, from which it is possible to see a breathtaking view. But the beauties of the village are not limited to palaces and monuments: like any ancient village worthy of the name, Batignano pampers its visitors with pleasant folklore and spirituality events that take place throughout the year. Visit it during the Christmas period to discover it embellished with small nativity scenes that adorn balconies, streets, squares and even niches in the walls: one of the most particular is usually set up inside the old oven of the village, in a small room with a beaten earth floor. Even just to savor these atmospheres, this little Maremma jewel is worth a visit.
