Review:
Monteriggioni is a famed walled Tuscan town within the Province of Siena that dates back to the Middle Ages, known for its references in literary and pop culture works as diverse as Dante’s Divine Comedy and the Assassin’s Creed video game series.
The town is located atop a natural hillock and is encircled by an 1,870-foot stretch of circular walls constructed between 1213 and 1219. The majority of the town’s original structures are still intact, including its 14 castle towers.
Outside the historic town center fortifications, the Monteriggioni in Arme Museum showcases replicas of ancient weapons, and Chianti Sculpture Park houses a significant collection of modern art works.
