Monteriggioni
Monteriggioni is a small medieval walled town on a natural hillock in Tuscany built by Siena in the early 13th century as a defensive fortification. The site is defined by a roughly circular curtain wall with regularly spaced square towers, two gates, a single main street and a central piazza dominated by a Romanesque church.

As it stood in 1220
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact, roughly circular stone curtain wall follows the hill's contour, about 570 metres long, punctuated by 14 square-based, crenellated towers set at regular intervals. Two principal portals break the ring to north and south. Inside the walls narrow streets and tightly packed houses with red clay tile roofs cluster around a central piazza dominated by a simple Romanesque church; the walls sit above wooded slopes and surrounding cultivated fields.
