Monteriggioni is a medieval walled town, located on a natural hillock, built by the Sienese in 1214–19 as a front line defensive fortification in their wars against Florence, by assuming command of the Via Cassia running through the Val d'Elsa and Val Staggia to the west. It withstood many attacks from both the Florentines and the forces of the Bishop of Volterra. (Wikipedia)
