I visited Italy’s infamous Assassins Creed town: Monteriggioni

#mediterranean Step into Medieval Magic in Monteriggioni 🏰✨ Ever wanted to stroll through a real-life video game town? Monteriggioni’s ancient walls, famously featured in Assassin’s Creed, offer just that—stone ramparts, charming piazzas, and Tuscan views that look straight out of a Renaissance epic. Begin your adventure at the Mura di Monteriggioni - Lato Porta Fiorentina (Piazza Roma, 23), open 10:00–13:30 and 14:00–16:00 on most days. Walk the historic ramparts and channel your inner assassin (game fans will instantly recognize the fortress!). Cross to Mura di Monteriggioni - Camminamento Nord (Largo di Fontebranda, 11, open later until 17:00/17:30 on weekends) for the best panoramic photo ops—snap the towers framed against rolling hills for an unbeatable “insta-worthy” shot. Don’t miss the Castello Monteriggioni (Piazza Roma) and wander the main Monteriggioni village itself—look for cobblestone alleys and medieval doors for the ultimate “time travel” pic. For a sun-dappled breather, relax in Giardini Pubblici Daniele Calosi (Via I° Maggio, 25—open all day), a quiet green spot where locals gather. Tips: The ramparts can be steep and narrow—closed-toe shoes are best, and take care when climbing. Arrive early or later in the afternoon to dodge crowds and maximize those serene moments. Assassin’s Creed aficionados: keep an eye out for details and views straight from the game—makes for fun side-by-side comparison selfies! #monteriggioni #siena #medievaltown #assassinscreed #tuscany
