[ENG] Tuscany, a land rich in history. Tuscany, with its unique landscapes, from the sea, mountains, hills rich in natural and architectural treasures. Tuscany, its cities of art and culture with their historical centers, museums, churches and cathedrals visited all year by thousands of tourists. Tuscany, full of Etruscans and Romans. I could go on with many other statements dictated from places more or less common, but carefully to those who cross our land can not escape another definition: Medieval Tuscany.
Small towns and big cities are still visible traces of its medieval past. Castles, forts, towers, fortified cities, walled villages, a continuous presence sometimes unnoticed, as always happens to the things we have always been. They are scattered in every corner of the region to remind one of the first human needs: to defend themselves. Many of these testimonies are outside the well-known tourist routes ...
[ENG] Tuscany is one of Italy's world famous regions. Tuscany, with ITS enchanted landscapes from the mountain to the sea. Tuscany, with its towns with museums, cathedrals, historical buildings, streets, towns like Florence, Siena, Pisa and more. Tuscany, full of ancient Etruscan and Roman ruins...
But one can not pass through this land without being aware of Medieval Tuscany. Still visible are the small walled towns which are a testimony to the Middle Ages just as much as its great cities.
Castles, fortresses, watch-towers, and town walls appear everywhere; some are well preserved, others are in ruins, but the main remnants are not on the tourist routes.In this site, created to inform people of the existence and preservation state of these testimonies to the medieval era, you will find history, photos, and plans of some of these fortifications.
