During this stop, you will have the opportunity to explore its picturesque streets and admire the architectural harmony that earned it UNESCO World Heritage status.

MontalcinoDiscover the charming medieval village of Montalcino, nestled on a 567-meter-high hill in the heart of the Val d'Orcia. Home to approximately 6,000 residents, this historic town is world-renowned for its production of prestigious Brunello wine and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Tuscan landscape.
- The fortress has a new structure for the time of its construction as it had a pentagonal plan as opposed to the square plan adopted by the fortifications of a previous era. The fortress has a tower at each corner. (pass by)
- The Palace constitutes one of the most typical elements of the village. Built in the 13th-14th century, it has a high crenellated tower and a portico with lowered vaults where there is a 16th-century statue of Cosimo I dei Medici. On the façade and on the side facing the square it features numerous heraldic coats of arms of the podestà families who have governed the city over the centuries. The urban evolution of the village forced the building into the alleys of the center, depriving it of its original public space. (pass by)
