Radicofani

Overview

A village of history and spirituality, Radicofani, literally cut in two by the Via Francigena: the small town of medieval origin is dominated by an imposing volcanic cliff, on which stands the defensive fortress built by the Medici in 1154. From here, the view embraces the entire panorama, once a territory to watch over and protect from enemy incursions. The historic centre welcomes and offers the beauty of its treasures, including the churches of San Pietro and Sant'Agata, the Jewish quarter, the oldest area of the city, until you reach the esoteric 'Bosco Isabella' garden. A place of passage for pilgrims, it saw the construction in 1584 of the famous 'Osteria Grossa', which over the centuries has hosted travellers and the faithful, as well as illustrious personalities including Mozart and Dickens.
