5Monteriggioni

In the countryside of Siena there is another Tuscan hill town that definitely deserves a mention in this article: Monteriggioni.

Mentioned in the Inferno of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, the hamlet is home to perfectly preserved ten-meter-high fortified walls, along with fourteen towers that stand out from afar. When you enter the medieval doors, you are already in the heart of the village.
