Itinerary
After spending time in Siena, then you will meet your driver again and go to another special place of Tuscany: Monteriggioni. This city is one of the most impressive walled Medieval towns in Tuscany. It’s the typical fortified village that started its life as a castle, perfectly rounded to suit the hill on which it has stood since the beginning of 1200. Today its mighty towers can still be seen for miles. Towers that once impressed Dante Alighieri so much that in his Divine Comedy he compared them to “horrific giants”.This was a good spot on the Via Francigena from which to control the disputed border territory between Florence and Siena.Today Monteriggioni hasn’t lost a shred of its Medieval character. Its tightly woven cobbled streets haven’t seen much change over the passing centuries, and its city walls are still intact. You can even take a short walk along them thanks to the recently added walkway . Afterwards, you board in the minivan and go back to Rome.
