This ancient gate marks the entrance to the very interesting old town of Pienza from the road that winds around the old town or from the Strada Communale Pienza-Monticchiello, which hikers use from Monticchiello.

Pienza is a picturesque place. With many small streets and small bars. You get typical Tuscan delicacies and craftsmanship. I've been there many times, but I always discover something new.
