25 km southeast of Siena is the quiet little town of Asciano nestled in the Ombrone River Valley. Many people love to travel to Asciano and the Crete Senesi Region to explore the picturesque landscapes and visit the medieval center. One of the most popular attractions in Asciano is the Saint Agatha Collegial Church which was first built in the 12th century. Much of the original structure remains, though some parts of the church have been updated.

Visitors can stop by the Museum Cassioli next to the church to view local Sienese art and the Corboli Museum just down the road to explore archaeology and artifacts from the Etruscan tombs. Spend the day and drive out to Monte Oliveto Maggiore monastery 10 km south of town.
