Casole d'Elsa

Highlight • Settlement

Like many places in Tuscany, Casole d'Elsa is located on the top of a hill. It is clearly visible from afar and easily recognizable from the battlements of the fortress tower.

Chapel of Quartaia on the Via Francigena

Highlight • Religious Site

The alternative route of the Via Francigena on foot passes through the hamlet of Quartaia, for those who want to avoid entering Colle Val d'Elsa (viefrancigene.org/it/resource/statictrack/tappa-32-variante-alternativo-colle/). Here you walk on a dirt road towards the truly fascinating town of Fabbrica.
