Abbadia San Salvatore

Abbadia San Salvatore blends a mountain-town atmosphere with an industrial past in a way that reflects its position on the eastern slopes of Monte Amiata in southern Tuscany. The settlement developed around the Abbey of San Salvatore, a Benedictine foundation dating to the eighth century whose crypt remains a central historic landmark. Monte Amiata’s wooded terrain has long shaped local life, while the former cinnabar mine recalls the town’s role in mercury extraction, an industry that ended in the twentieth century. Its streets retain the compact character of an old Amiata community rather than that of Tuscany’s larger art cities.
