Beautiful fields of sunflowers and rolling hills surround Val d'Orcia. The territory is a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site and is crisscrossed by vineyards that produce the wines of Brunello. Pienza is known as the ideal city and features the world-famous Palazzo Piccolomini. Other great places to visit in Val d'Orcia are the fortress at Castiglion d’ Orcia or Radicofani, a hilltop town with ancient towers, and Montalcino which is still surrounded by a medieval wall. Visitors interested in religious history or medieval architecture should check out the Abbey of Sant’ Antimo. There are also many thermal baths to relax at or museums to explore.
