CASTELLINA IN CHIANTI
Castellina in Chianti, in the province of Siena, is a medieval
town located in a panoramic position, on a hill that dominates the
valleys of Arbia, Pesa, Elsa. The settlement has Etruscan origins,
as the tumulus from the VII-VI century testifies, which was found
at Montecalvario. Castellina was during centuries the last Sienese
outpost, but had to surrender to the Florentines who built the boundary
wall in the 15th century.
