San Quirico d`Orcia is a comune in the Province of Siena in the Italian region Tuscany, located about 80 kilometres southeast of Florence and about 35 kilometres southeast of Siena inside the Valdorcia landscape. It is named in honor of Saint Quiricus. The historic centre of the village is particularly picturesque with its attractive paved streets and beautiful stone fountains. A distinctive part of the villageââ¬â¢s history and appearance is its position along the Via Francigena route. At the very heart of Val dââ¬â¢Orcia, nestled in the swirling hills, is the incredibly historic village with probable Etruscan origins, immersed in olive groves, vineyards and oak woods.
San Quirico d`Orcia, with its medieval parish churches, is an absolute must-visit. Italy, Europe
