Millions of words have been spent to describe this little town between the Orcia and the main channel of the Chiana. Here we find evidence of ancient tresures: the temple of San Biagio, the municipal palace by Michelozzo, the palace of the Captain of the People, by Sangallo, the Cathedral (incomplete) and other architectural curiosities that enrich the city, like an open air art gallery.
