Monteriggioni is located in Tuscany, in the province of Siena. Monteriggioni is located on a top of a hill and is a completely walled medieval town which has managed to retain its ancient roots and its medieval looks over the centuries. Many scholars describe it as one of the best examples of medieval villages in all of Italy.

The walled town was originally built in the 13th century by Siena and not many changes have been made to the town since. Monteriggioni is located close to Siena, Florence, Pisa and Volterra. The economy of town is mainly based on agriculture and wine. However, pottery, wooden and marble based products are also quite well known here.
