Siena: Castles, fortresses and fountains of fables in the Val d’Elsa.
The ring route of Poggibonsi.
This half day, easy route that starts
from and arrives in Poggibonsi will take you to
important monuments such as the Fortress of the Imperial
Poggio, inside of which you may also see the
archeological dig of the Poggio Bonizio of the high
medieval period. There is also the Fountain of the
Fairies, the Basilica of San Lucchese and the Castle of
Badia.
You’ll notice the variety of the environments
that you will walk through and the beautiful panoramas
that look out on the Chianti, the Val d’Elsa, stretching
to Monte Amiata and the mountains of the Casentino.
Why take a 5 KM. walk?
Because it’s not difficult, nor is it tiring and in only
5 short kilometers you can see things that are of great
artistic/historic and naturalistic interest.
