About Montepulciano
Montepulciano is a Renaissance hill town in southern Tuscany, known for its Vino Nobile wine, cellars beneath the palaces and wide valley views.
Montepulciano climbs a ridge, its main street rising between Renaissance palaces and towers to the Piazza Grande at the top. The square is framed by the town hall, whose tower recalls Florence's Palazzo Vecchio, the cathedral and the Palazzo Contucci, and a well decorated with griffins and lions stands in the middle. Below the town, the Church of San Biagio, a Renaissance travertine church by Antonio da Sangallo the Elder, stands among cypresses.
Top-ranked sights in Montepulciano: Temple of San Biagio (Tempio di San Biagio).
