Monteriggioni is one of the places where I didn't happen by chance. Somewhere I had seen a picture of it that fascinated me, but I must say that reality exceeded my expectations and imagination.
Monteriggioni is a small village perched on a hill in the province of Siena.

Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it is completely enclosed among the well-preserved medieval walls from which a dozen towers emerge. The city walls influenced the development of this tiny village (it really prevented it from expanding) and also allowed it to preserve its original medieval appearance.

Inside the village there are houses, strictly in stone, almost all overlooking the central square, there is also an old church and then everything useful to the inhabitants (a few) and tourists. For obvious reasons it is forbidden to access cars (except those of residents if I'm not mistaken) and this also makes the atmosphere of the village very special.

The walls can be visited, but you have to pay. Not so much so I stretched my short arm and I must say that it was worth it, because from the walls there is an unforgettable view, typically Tuscan.
My walk lasted very little, because Monteriggioni is small.

I'm not saying a few minutes, but two hours are enough. For this same day, in addition to Monteriggioni, you can visit other Sienese villages, for example San Gimignano to which you will arrive in 30 minutes (it is about 30 km).
