One of the two observatories is under repair. Would be better if we could walk the whole walls. Museum is interesting but small.
This place has a lot of interesting history. Well worth a visit. ..but very touristy. Expect to see an interesting museum but almost everything else is a tourist experience.
Very small and cute town in Tuscany and the walls of townare still standing strong. Worth to visit and take a wine in the town !

The title of the review says it all. Dramatically photogenic from below with wonderful views from ramparts but the level of access[two small sections-reduced charge for seniors] is a disappointment. Entry ticket also buys you access to a small armoury museum in the town.
You are in the middle of fantastic old medieval towns Monteriggioni,Colle di Val D’Elsa Alta ,San Gimignano and very close to SIENA FIRENZE and the area of real good Wine fantastic!
