Right in the heart of the town of Montepulciano, Piazza Grande is an ancient square with Medieval buildings, little shops, various nice bars and restaurants.

After Montepulciano, we will pass by the town of Monticchiello, driving through the beautiful countryside of Tuscany

The cathedral of Pienza dominates the beautiful central square. Built around the 14th century, is one of the most important churches of the Renaissance times

Near the cathedral, the Piccolomini palace is a splendid Renaissance example of Renaissance architecture. Here you may want to visit the lovely gardens, the courtyard and the old stables.
