MONTERIGGIONI

The Dantesque castle along the Via Francigena

Tuscany on foot
half day / full day
The Castle of Monteriggioni is the only castle built by the Sienese during the long conflict between Siena and Florence. The military outpost - built in the early 1200s and quoted by Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy looks north to Florence and south in the direction of the nearby Siena.

Located on Monte Ala, where there was a Lombardic farm, it was in the ideal position to control the Val d’Elsa and the Chianti area, but above all the Via Cassia and the Via Francigena.

The Via Francigena, coming from the north, crossed the Val d'Elsa and the old swamp under the castle walls - subsequently reclaimed- where even today it is possible to admire the abbey of Abbadia Isola. There are still many pilgrims you can meet along the way or in the numerous hostels present today. The cuisine and wine of this area are obviously a good opportunity to learn even more deeply about the charm of Tuscany.
Each tour is tailor-made according to specific needs and requests.
By consulting the map and the Highlights table below, it will be easier to identify the places of interest and the activities to be included, so you can choose and better define the duration of the tour (half day or full day), based on km/miles you will like to cover.
