San Quirico Val d'Orcia

San Quirico Val d'Orcia is a town of great charm that is often overlooked by visitors to the Val d'Orcia. San Quirico is of Etruscan origin and its present appearance, with its almost intact walls incorporating fourteen towers dates mainly from mediaeval times when it was an important stop on the Via Francigena pilgrimage and trade route. La Collegiata is a beautiful romanesque church and the Horti Leonini, laid out by Diomede Leoni in 1580, are a superb example of a classic italianate garden.

Worth a visit.
