Abbadia San Salvatore Attractions

The most impressive feature of the abbey is the Crypt, which was given its present form in 1036 but was probably the original pre-Romanesque church. It was originally divided into 13 aisles. The groined vaulting is borne on columns of varied form, many of them with richly decorated capitals.

The center of Abbadia San Salvatore has preserved its medieval character. A notable feature is the borgo (walled village), originally held by the Counts of Santa Fiora, which passed into the hands of Siena in 1347 and later into the possession of the Médici family.
