MONTEAPERTI

Who is fond of history and Dante’s Divina Comedia could not miss an excursion to Moonteaperti, famous for the decisive and cruel battle between Florence and Siena the 4th of September in 1260 which was won by the Florentines.
Chanted in the Divine Comedy by Dante, the battle has given Montaperti its fame. On the top of the hill of Monteapertaccio, from where you can enjoy a marvellous view over the valley Valle dell'Arabia, a memorial stone remembers the bloody event. To reach Siena it is possible to take an alternative itinerary, which touches the castle Castello delle Quattro Torri. The building, built between the 14th and the 15th century, has a four-shaped plant with four towers and features a beautiful courtyard.
