More Info
Enveloped by the splendid walls made of stone, the medieval village of Monteriggioni stands at the southwestern end of Chianti. The beating heart of the village is the Castle, founded in the second decade of the 13th century by the Republic of Siena.
The medieval village of Monteriggioni is part of the so-called Montagnola Senese in Tuscany.
Monteriggioni Castle was built by the Sienese, by order of the podestà Guelfo da Porcari, sometime between 1214 and 1219. The Porta Franca or Romea (facing Siena) stands at the base of a keep while the one facing Florence, Porta di sotto, opens into the walls and is flanked by one of the towers of the fortified perimeter. Entering through the Porta Franca or Romea gate, which originally had a heavy gate that was lowered in case of danger, you enter Piazza Roma, the heart of the village.
The Church of Santa Maria Assunta overlooks the square.
Every year in July, the well-established Monteriggioni Medieval Festival is held.
