Chiusdino

The medieval village in the Terre di Siena

The village of Chiusdino, magnificently positioned between the Merse Valley and the Metalliferous Hills, is nestled in the Siena Area. The town holds deeply historic roots, possibly deriving from an early medieval settlement by the Longobards, and later passed from the control of the Bishops of Volterra to the Municipality of Siena in the XIII century.

The town still maintains its medieval atmosphere, enhanced by the castle and the surrounding village. Some parts of the city walls still remain, with medieval houses inside.
