Already inhabited in Etruscan times, San Quirico has been named since year 714 in the controversy between the Bishop of Siena and that of Arezzo for the inclusion of some parish churches placed on the border of their jurisdictions. At that time, San Quirico was called 'di Osenna', from the name of its parish church, to which the 'curtis' (a court, in the feudal context defined as a set of villas and buildings where the Fief stayed and performed his control on the territory) belonged.

Vandring
A large part of the fifteenth-century town walls are still intact and well preserved, thanks also to a recent restoration, missing only the north-west portion and a stretch to the south. Some the original 14 towers and turrets are still partially visible, even if incorporated in other structures. The North and South Gates no longer exist: only the New Gate - remodeled several times - and the Cappuccini Gate, the only one left of the three of the first city wall enclosure, are preserved.
