Description
One of the most scenic hill towns in Siena District is Montefollonico. This tiny Italian village is quaint and charming and happens to have wonderful restaurants and eateries. La Costa may be at the pinnacle of the ratings. Leading to the restaurante is this small alley way both beautiful and charismatic.
Montefollonico, an ancient walled city lies on a hill in a strategic position between Valdichiana and Val d'Orcia. The town was likely named after Roman clothes washers; Roman cloth-launderers were called fullones and they sometimes used urine to get things really clean. There are a mere three streets, three gates in the 13th century Siennese brick walls and 700 people who live here.
Its foundation dates to the around the year 1000, but many artifacts have been found that attest to some kind of settlements in the area as far back as Prehistory.
the first fortification dates to the 6th century, when the name changed from Monte a Fullonico to Montefollonico. But at the beginning of the 1200s, the fortified castle, being in a borderland, took on great strategic importance for the Republic of Siena, to whom the town remained loyal for more than a century.
There is an innovative ceramics shop inside a decommissioned church that will bake your photos into a serving platter. There are several churches, including the 13th century Church of San Leonardo, one of the most important Siena District Romanesque churches around.
