Cypress trees in the Val d'Orcia

San Quirico d'Orcia is situated in the heart of Val d’Orcia in a postcard-like scenery. The city is part of the Val d’Orcia, a part of southern Tuscany characterized by gentle hills, sinuous country roads or strade bianche, and a horizon dotted with isolated cypress trees. The entire valley of the Val d'Orcia with its magnificent natural scenery was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2006.
