The experience

Discover a beautiful Greek-Renaissance church in stunning Tuscan surroundings

Nestled among the rolling hills of Montepulciano wine country is this spectacular Greek-Renaissance church, built in 1518 and substantially restored by Pope Leo X in the 16th century. It's famed for its 'glowing' marble brickwork, a stunning fresco of the Madonna and St Francis, and a design which was used as the basis for St. Peter's Basilica – it's the original prequel.
