Chapel of Our Lady of Vitaleta, rear view.
In the Val d'Orcia, one of the most characteristic points is the small Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta, immersed in a fascinating landscape, in the municipality of San Quirico d'Orcia, Siena, Tuscany, Italy.
Dating back to the mid-1500s, damaged by an earthquake and then redesigned in Renaissance style in 1884, it can now be visited following recent internal and external restoration work carried out by the private owner.
The site, which can be reached on foot or by bicycle, is under UNESCO protection and attracts a large number of tourists and visitors in every season, offering views and the possibility of spectacular photographs, especially at dawn and dusk.
