San Quirico d'Orcia — Historic Town

Highlight • Historical Site

San Quirico is located on a small rise and has preserved its 12th century ramparts and monumental gates. Late in the Middle Ages the place gained importance thanks to the Via Francigena that ran through the Orcia valley and reached the city. San Quirico was Sigeric's 12th stop.
