The Province of Siena has one of the richest territories of artistic and natural beauty in all of Italy. In ancient times, the territory itself was the Republic of Siena, independent from 1100 to 1559, when it became a dominion of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. The hilly landscape is characterised by large expanses of woodland alternating with arable areas or cultivated with vineyards and olive groves.
World-famous art cities such as Florence, Siena, Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano and Volterra are easily reached from the Valdelsa area. The Val d'Orcia is the hilly part bordering the Crete Senesi to the north-west, the Val di Chiana to the east and Mount Amiata (the most important ski resort in southern Tuscany) and the province of Grosseto to the south. Chianti, the world's most popular wine-growing area, is the pride of the Province of Siena.
A valley crossed by the Orcia river and dotted with many villages surrounded by greenery, this land has been a protagonist in the medieval history of Tuscany and it is precisely its origins that have conditioned its nature.
The mediaeval villages and abbeys, born as forts or simple bastions, are today splendid tourist attractions. Montalcino, Pienza, Radicofani, San Quirico d'Orcia, Bagno Vignoni and Castiglione d'Orcia are destinations of absolute beauty and importance.
