About Monteriggioni
Even from afar, Monteriggioni seems like a place where time had never passed. The walls, completely surrounding the town, are still almost in their original condition and the town buildings today also retain many of their original 13th century architectural features. The circular walls are 570 meters long and feature 14 rectangular towers. Monteriggioni was built in 13th century on top of a low hill dotted with olive trees and vines. It was built by Sienese to protect their front line from the Florentines, their historical rivals. When entering the town through the San Giovanni Gate, visitors immediately find themselves on the main square, Piazza di Roma where the Church of Santa Maria Assunta is also located. It is possible to purchase a combined ticket for exploring the walls and visiting the interactive Armory museum with replicas of medieval and Renaissance arms and armatures.
