Walk Through the Scenic Hamlet of Monteriggioni

I will show you around the picturesque village of Monteriggioni, probably the most well-preserved medieval walled town in the Sienese territory. It used to be a military outpost in the middle ages and was located on one of the most important European roads: Via Francigena. The town is tiny; only 45 people roughly live there still. You will see the little church, the main square, and the two entrance gates facing Siena and Florence. From the last one, there is an amazing view of the countryside, you can even see the Chianti area, known for its wine: Chianti Classico. On a bright day, we can even see the skyline of San Gimignano, another beautiful little town in Tuscany.
