Monticchiello, Tuscany, Italy

travel videos & photos at: https://townsofeurope.com/ with text, maps & links. We are in Tuscany, Italy, visiting little, such tiny village that you've probably never heard of. It's Monticchiello, another one of the charming hill towns that are so beautiful. And this place is quite special, because only 200 people live here. It's a medieval walled town that dates back to the 13th century, just a few miles away from Pienza, very charming. The village is less than 200 meters wide and yet has numerous little lanes and old stone buildings that make it very attractive – a fun place to explore for at least a couple of hours, or stick around longer for a meal in one of those great restaurants we will show you later. It's up on the hill, surrounded by olive trees in that classic Tuscan style, with old buildings throughout the village. Park your car outside, down below town, and then walk up the gentle hill to get into the village, which is surrounded by a green park with some pretty trees showing fall colors. We're here in November. Two towers are among seven still standing at this old medieval fortified wall around the town, protecting St. Agatha's gate that dates back to the 13th century. It's the main gate leading into the village. There is no single most-important thing to see, so the idea is, take a walk throughout the little village, because the entire ensemble is one of the best-preserved old towns in Tuscany. Very little development or changes have happened in recent centuries. It's a small town, and we have a short movie, but you will be surprised at how much there is to see, including some amazing gourmet restaurants, and places to stay. We also found a friendly cat in the Gothic church. It's a destination to put on your list. The first time Monticchiello is ever mentioned in any historic document was during the tenth century, but it's likely people lived here back in the Etruscan and Roman eras. The Middle Ages were a turbulent time here, with warfare and competition between the nearby cities, so little Monticchiello was aligned with Siena for its protection, until Florence took control later in the 16th century. This small fortified hamlet was like a castle, with its main tower, Torre dell Casserol, the keep of the castle where the Lord lived, tallest among the other 16 towers in those days, shown here inside the white circle.
