Tourist and Historical Information: Castellina in Chianti is one of the most fascinating and historically rich medieval villages in Tuscany, located in the heart of the beautiful Chianti Classico wine region. The origins of the territory date back to the Etruscan period, as evidenced by the spectacular Montecalvario Tumulus, a monumental necropolis dating back to the seventh or sixth century BC located a short distance from the historic center. The hamlet for sale boasts a glorious past: during the late Middle Ages it was an important fortified center and strategic stronghold, officially mentioned in the peace agreements between Pisa and Lucca of 1155, and served as a crucial bastion for the Florentine army during the famous battle of Montaperti in 1260. The historic center of Castellina in Chianti is dominated by the majestic Rocca, a mighty medieval fortress built to defend the village, which today houses the interesting Archaeological Museum of the Chianti Senese. One of the most evocative places in the village is Via delle Volte, a covered walkway from the fifteenth century running along the ancient walls and hosting characteristic shops. In the heart of the village also stands the Church of San Salvatore, which preserves valuable works of sacred art, including a Madonna with Child and Saints by the Renaissance painter Bicci di Lorenzo. The modern hamlet owes its destiny to a family of Swiss origin who purchased the entire property, then in a state of near ruin, in 1946, starting a careful restoration aimed at preserving its authentic medieval atmosphere and transforming it in 1955 into the first hotel resort of the entire Chianti region.
