Monteriggioni, the ancestral hill-top village near Siena, is an ideal destination for anyone looking to experience Medieval Italy. The walled fortress and its 14 towers was erected in 1213 and still stand today, adding to the charm that makes this area a popular tourist destination. You can explore its cobbled streets, visit Santo Maria Assunta Church to witness its archaeological ruins, or step back in time with the “Monteriggioni in Arme” educational route. Adventurers can go on nature trails and discover the nearby Abbadia Isola village while winers and foodies will love tasting Chianti Classico DOCG and sampling traditional Tuscan cuisine. Whether you prefer culture, outdoor activities, food or wine tours, Monteriggioni has something for everyone.
