Barberino Val d'Elsa is a town in the province of Florence, in the region of Tuscany in central Italy. It got its name from the valley below it. The town is 373 m (1,224 ft) above sea level. It covers 65.8 sq km (25.4 sq mi) and has a population of over 4,200 people (2012 estimate).

Barberino Val d'Elsa is today a well-preserved town that has retained its medieval fortifications. Within the town center are a number of historic buildings worth visiting, among them the Church of San Bartolomeo and the Church of Sant'Appiano. Also worth a look is the Sienese Gate (Porta Senese) from the 14th century and the Pilgrims' Hospice (Ospedale dei Pellegrini) from 1365.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
