The Diocesan Museum.  
the Buon Gesù church in Cortona  
It is one of the most significant museums in Tuscany on behalf of the wealth of the exhibits, some masterpieces of Italian Masters from 14- 15 centuries, Art of Gold and textile. The location of the Museum is in the Buon Gesù church.
Artistically importance has to be given to two panels made by Fra Angelico, The Annunciation and a Madonna and Child and Saints. Another important art piece by the same Fra Angelico is the fresco painted by him in 1436 above the entrance to the church of San Domenico.Other important artworks are by the famouse Cortonese painter Luca Signorelli painted in Cortona from 1512 to 1523 and the famous affidavit for the Sanctuary of S.Margherita in 1502.
There are also some Roman sarcophagus of the Struggle between Dionysus and the Amazons,

Abbey of Santa Mustiola (Chiesa della Santissima Trinità e di Santa Mustiola,  
Torri, Val di Merse  
first recorded in 1070) and its cloister (13-14 C) at Torri, Val di Merse. This abbey is unique in Tuscany in having preserved the Romanesque character of its cloisters despite subsequent restorations. The cloister is now the property of the Bicocchi family and may be visited on limited days of the week. It is strikingly beautiful and should not be missed by anyone visiting the Val di Merse. Highly recommended!

Abbey of Saints Severus and Matyrius (Abbazia dei Santi Severo e Martirio)  
located 3 km from Orvieto (and hence in Umbria, not in Tuscany)  
in beautiful surroundings. It is now a hotel but retains its architectural features which fall into three periods: the Romanesque-Longobard period of the 12 C (church and tower). The Countess Matilde di Canossa built the church's dodecagon crenelated tower in 1103.); Premonstratensian (Augustinian) period of around 1240 (Abbot's Palace and atrium of the church); Cistercian period from 1260.
