Tuscany experience to Rosia and the Hermitage of Santa Lucia
This exciting tour will take you to discover an ancient and little-known area of Tuscany, yet still full of charm and beauty. The first stop of the excursion will be Rosia, a small village built around an ancient church and a castle. A mysterious place that weaves its history with that of Pia de’ Tolomei, Sienese noblewoman also mentioned in the Divine Comedy.
The tour to Rosia continues on an abandoned stretch of a medieval road that once led to the Maremma. Here, the path is rugged, closed in the limestone gorge of the Rosia River. Here, we will cross the Ponte della Pia (Pia Bridge), a historic bridge with a single round arch whose origins date back to Roman times.
We will continue our journey through the old mule, still partly paved, until we will reach a the imposing ruins of the Hermitage of Santa Lucia, built before the 1.200 and abandoned after the 1.500: a place of great interest full of mysterious stories and legends.
