WHERE HISTORY AND LANDSCAPE UNITE

A short distance from Siena, perched atop a hill overlooking the city, lies the ancient Certosa di Pontignano—a captivating venue with a unique and enthralling history. Dating back to 1343, this Certosa now serves as the official conference center for the University of Siena, offering an ideal destination for those seeking an authentic Tuscan experience within the embrace of traditional Carthusian monastery design. Within its walls, the Chapel of Sant'Agnese, constructed in 1703, is renowned worldwide as Siena's "Little Sistine Chapel." This venerable residence boasts three distinct Cloisters—the Main Cloister, the Cloister of the Conversi, and the Grand Cloister—each interconnecting to create an ageless and alluring ensemble.
