Montalcino is a 14th-century medieval village that features a military layout and steep streets that wind up the hills. There are many historic churches including the Church of Sant’ Agostino which was also constructed in the 14th century, A neoclassical Cathedral, and several others. The town hall, however, dates even further back, to the 13th century, and is known for the towering bell tower. Visitors driving around the countryside of Montalcino can see one of the most notable examples of French Romanesque architecture found any more in Italy at the Abbey of saint’ Antimo. Montalcino is surrounded by forests, olive groves, and vineyards and was declared part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004. Spend the day wine tasting and sampling honey or exploring the ancient sites and monuments.
