Monteriggioni is a little village in Siena province. The magnificent walls, built during the first two decades of the 1200 and immortalized by the great poet Dante Alighieri, are still today almost integral and surrounded by 14 towers.
Monteriggioni was built by Senese people as a defensive rampart against the invasion of Florentines. The small dimension of the centre, surrounded by 22.441 inches (570 metre) of wall, has limited its development: in the square there is the parish church built at the end of the 14th century.
Its population is only 60 people, but the commune is large.
