Medieval suggestions among Siennese castles
Imagine a medieval atmosphere and ancient enchanting mansions: this itinerary is a trip back in time through the history of Tuscany.
Taking the funicular we will reach Certalto Alto, the oldest part of the city, where you will visit the Palazzo Pretorio and the house where Boccaccio, the famous author of Decameron, was born and died.
We will stop in San Gimignano, the town world famous for its towers, to admire the intact beauty of its historical centre. It will be an occasion to walk through the handicraft shops and to taste Vernaccia, the white wine of San Gimignano.
Later, from a far, we will see a big stronghold on the top of a hill, with its austere walls and turrets: Monteriggioni. Maybe it is the place which conserves, more than any other, an original medieval aspect. Reaching the entrance at the top of a slope, it will seem that you will have gone back several centuries in time. There is no other place that will give such a great sensation.
