Convento del Petreto

Not technically in Scansano but in nearby Poggioferro, this Franciscan convent is famous because many believe San Bernardino preached here on a stone pulpit in 1422.

The convent itself was built in the 13th century but has undergone so many renovations that its church and adjacent monastry adhere more to 18th and 19th century stylistic elements.

The convent is now private property, but the church is still part of the parish and can be visited.
