MEDIEVAL VILLAGES
Massa Marittima: masterpiece of the medieval town planning, Massa Marittima is one of the Maremma jewels. To admire the main square where balance and armony complement each other, creating spectacular corners around the important medieval buildings, first of all the Cathedral which stands out from the top of a steep flight of steps.. Moreover in the city there is the Arco Senese which connects the Fortezza Senese with the Torre dell'Orologio. We suggest to visit the city in may and in august when the Balestro del Girifalco takes place.

Roccatederighi and Montemassi: driving to the hinterland towards Siena you will meet these two villages. Montemassi is recognizable thanks to the showy ruins of its castle, instead, higher you can notice the classical outline of Roccatederighi, defined by two towers, and set on a spur of rock. You can enter by a door obtained from boulders. The village is alleys, flights of steps that pass throught houses, arches, portals that follow one another. On the top of the village you can admire the Maremma below.
