Monteriggioni
Italy

75 min

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.

Sacro Bosco, or Sacred wood, is an astonishing forest park inhabited by gigantic and breathtakingly beautiful sculptures of allegorical animals, monsters and figures. This masterpiece... is the work of Italian Duke Pier Francesco Orsini who initially wanted to devote a beautiful garden to his wife Giulia Farnese. However, she tragically died so Duke decided not to create a lovely garden but rather a bizarre park with monuments associated with death and the afterlife. It is a landscape garden like no other, so don’t miss it!

If you are an admirer of crystal glassware and art and if you would like to soak in some nice medieval atmosphere, you shouldn’t miss... Colle Val d'Elsa. Besides being irresistibly charming with its small streets and lanes, this town also produces 15% of the world’s total crystal grass production. The oldest part of the town is the “colle alta”, from where you can enjoy in the view of the lower part of the city, the Tuscan hills and countryside. But it also has a historical value since Colle had a very turbulent past. Being close to both Florence and Siena, Colle Val d'Elsa was the location of several famous battles during the wars of the Guelphs and Ghibellines as well as a siege by Neapolitan troops.
