Capella della Madonna di Vialeta is one of the most charming places in the hills of Val d'Orcia. The chapel is small, framed by two rows of cypress trees, very old and according to popular belief built on the spot where Madonna appeared to the little shepherdess. The present appearance of the chapel is the result of the reconstruction and restoration of the nineteenth century.
