The Casentino is a magnificent area in the province of Arezzo. Bordering the Valtiberina, Mugello and the Valdarno, the valley is crossed by the Arno river and is rich in protected forests inside the
National Park of Casentino Forests , chestnut woods and hills covered with olive groves and vineyards.
It was the presence of numerous hills and the protection of high mountains around the valley that in the Middle Ages this area was chosen for the construction of castles, fortresses and abbeys. Today, during your vacation in Casentino, you can visit the
Castle of Poppi , the
Romena Castle between Stia and Pratovecchio, the
Porciano Castle and then proceed to the Palagio Fiorentino and the
Valenzano Castle .
Peace and nature of the marvelous territory of Casentino welcomed
St. Francis of Assisi , who chose the Casentino for his prayer retreats. For centuries now, in the places he had chosen, we find the
Sanctuary of Chiusi della Verna that is definitely worth a visit. We also recommend the
Monastery and the Hermitage of Camaldoli and the
Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Sasso in Bibbiena.
Extremely fascinating the Romanesque parish churches of the Casentino: the
Church of Romena, the
Church of Sòcana and the
Church of Sietina welcome the visitor with their rocky walls in a peaceful and spiritual athmosphere.
