Category: Castle/fortification/tower, Historic borgo/Town of art-historical importance

Itinerary: Ring Tour of the Castle, 23, Monteriggioni castle, Discover the sites of Assassin’s Creed

This gateway, facing Florence, stands beside a tower, and consists in a simple semi-circular arch. Some battlements incorporated in the walling above indicate that the defensive wall was probably lower. Similar battlements can also be seen in the facing of the walls on the east side. On the right of the entrance, which used to have an outer, protective wall, a plaque quotes the lines from Dante mentioning Monteriggioni.
