Tentennano Fortress

Highlight • Castle

The fortress Rocca d'Orcia, also known as Rocca di Tentennano, overlooks the landscape of the Val d'Orcia and the Via Francigena with its distinctive tower. Pilgrims traveling on the Via Francigena in the direction of Rome have a good view of the next stage destination Radicofani. But apart from the striking fortress, the village of Rocca d'Orcia has to offer a number of interesting churches with art treasures from days gone by.

Historic Centre of Castiglione d'Orcia

Highlight • Historical Site

A great compact old town high up on the ridge with no architectural flaws. Charming streets, great old houses, picturesque squares with fountains, interesting churches, small shops; everything very consistent! In addition, great views of the Orcia valley and the nearby Rocca d' Orcia enthroned on the ridge. Unfortunately, the old castle high up is currently a construction site. Unfortunately not completely car-free.
