    History
    First Torrione di Francolino, then Punta della Montagnola: an architecturally strategic site, changed over the centuries and still aesthetically fascinating today

    Hiking

    Ancient Francolino Tower, Punta della Montagnola takes its name from an artificial hill prepared since the 16th century with the function of a high and privileged point. The work is the result of 17th century modernization works. Interesting is the decorative element of the "curb", placed at the top of the slope, which also had the function of hindering the climb of the attackers.
