Discover Sieci: Trails, the Via di Francesco and Culture

Sieci Between Trails and Culture

Sieci is interesting for travelers who want to combine trails and culture during one stay. Sieci is home to the Pieve di San Giovanni Battista a Remole; at the same time, Le Sieci railway station provides a clear point of orientation locally, with entrances from Piazza della Stazione and Via della Stazione. Parking is available at both access areas. If you choose a hotel in Sieci, you can base your accommodation decision on your planned priorities – such as outdoor activities, historic buildings or museum visits.

Getting Around on Foot and by Bicycle

An approximately 50-meter-long pedestrian and cycling connection in Sieci provides direct access to the main route of the Arno Cycle Route towards Pontassieve and Fiesole. The municipal GEO A hiking trail begins in Sieci and ends in Rufina. GEO A also connects the valleys of the Sieci and Argomenna streams. This gives you different options for planning: you can consider a short pedestrian and cycling connection, a hiking trail starting in Sieci and ending in Rufina, and a valley connection as separate priorities.

The Via di Francesco and Its Route

The Via di Francesco in Tuscany is marked with the traditional white-and-red trail markings and the Tau symbol. Along it, the route runs from Compiobbi alongside the railway to Sieci. For travelers who want to combine a longer route with spiritual and scenic interest, this itinerary offers a distinct planning option, without confusing it with the local GEO A trail.

Pieve and Museums in Sieci and the Surrounding Area

The Pieve di San Giovanni a Rèmole dates from the Early Middle Ages and is already mentioned in documents from 955. It has a three-aisled Romanesque structure. In the area around Sieci, the Museo Bandini is a museum; the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze, the Museo di San Marco and the Museo Horne are also museums in the area around Sieci. This makes it possible to structure a cultural day thematically: you can combine the Early Medieval and Romanesque Pieve with several museums in the wider surrounding area.

Mountains and Gardens in the Surrounding Area

The landscape destinations around Sieci also offer different points of interest. Il Pratone is a mountain in the area around Sieci, as is Poggio Stefanieri. The Giardino di San Clemente is a garden in the area around Sieci; the Giardino Del Museo Archeologico is also a garden in the area around Sieci.
