Casole d’Elsa, antico insediamento etrusco, come testimoniano le numerose tombe rinvenute, è un borgo collocato sul dorso di un colle che regala al visitatore una vista panoramica di grande suggestione. Nei secoli XI e XII, fu feudo dei Vescovi di Volterra. Passato nel 1260 sotto il dominio dei senesi, essendo una località di interesse strategico, per difenderlo dagli attacchi esterni, fu necessario successivamente erigere nuove fortificazioni. fra cui due torri rotonde sul lato orientale tuttora esistenti. Casole assunse così i connotati della “torre murata”, cioè circondata da mura conservate fino ad oggi. - https://www.toscana.info/siena/provincia/casole-delsa/

Mensano is located in a hilly area of the Valdelsa, a few kilometers from Casole d'Elsa. It overlooks a rocky cliff that opens the gaze towards the Metalliferous Hills, offering a truly breathtaking panorama. The absolute silence that accompanies the walk in the village goes well with the panorama below.

The castle of Murlo, in its typical fortified urban structure, dates back to the medieval period (XII century) when it was the main center of the feud of the bishops of Siena or Bishopric. The plan, as it appears today, testifies to the transformations that took place at the end of the '500 after the fall of the Republic of Siena and reveals the structure of the castle with the walls dominated by small houses surrounding the Palazzo del Vescovo (now home to the Archaeological Museum), the prison building and the cathedral. There are two access doors to the castle. - https://www.toscana.info/siena/provincia/murlo/
