The monumental cross of Mount Amiata is a monument located in the territory of Abbadia San Salvatore, situated at the top of the mountain of the same name.
The monumental cross is 22 meters tall, and its construction was decided following the indications of Pope Leo XIII who, in order to celebrate the Holy Year of 1900, suggested erecting twenty monuments on the peaks of various mountains scattered throughout Italy, celebrating Redemption, one for each century passed including the XX which was about to come to light. Mount Amiata was the ninth realization in chronological order.
