The cypresses of San Quirico d'Orcia are located on a hill overlooking from the south a section of the Via Cassia that crosses the northern part of the municipal territory of San Quirico d'Orcia, in the locality " The Triboli ". Cypresses represent the naturalistic and landscape symbol, not only of the municipality and the area in which they are located but also of the whole of Tuscany.
