Fortress of Montalcino

Centuries-old walls and towers rising above the city’s rooftops:

The Fortress of Montalcino, built in 1371 and remaining almost intact to this day, is an incredible example of medieval military architecture.

The crenellated towers of the pentagonal building can be accessed from the inner courtyard. Once at the top, visitors can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of the Tuscan countryside. The fortress houses a restaurant and a wine bar. The inner courtyard is free to enter, and tickets to visit the towers and the observation deck are available at the wine bar.
