Crete Senesi

South of Siena, there is the distinctive landscape called Crete Senesi, with the medieval town of Asciano and dominated by the huge Abbazia di Monte Oliveto Maggiore (famous for its library with antique books).

The present complex dates back to 1319 and includes a cloister, frescoed by Luca Signorelli.
