Situated in the northern extremity of the municipality, Monteriggioni stands on top of a low hill whose slopes are dotted with olive trees and vines.

Monteriggioni still today retains many of its original 13th century architectural features; indeed, it is unique among Tuscany’s medieval borghi.

This gateway is the main entrance to the borgo. It faces the direction of Rome, and stands below a tower with a high pointed arch.

The church, fronting the main square, is the building that best preserves the borgo’s medieval features.

This educational path houses faithful reproductions of medieval and Renaissance weapons and armour.

Anyone coming to Monteriggioni cannot miss the experience of walking along the top of the castle walls
