The Abbey of San Pancrazio al Fango (Italian : Abbazia di San Pancrazio al Fango) is a ruined abbey in the comune of Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy.

It is situated between Grosseto and Castiglione della Pescaia, in the heart of the Nature Reserve Diaccia Botrona, not far from the La Badiola estate. The church, which is now in ruins, was built in the Middle Ages on a slight hill overlooking the surrounding wetlands, once occupied by Lake Prile near a building from Roman times. [1] [2]
