Tuscany
is one of Italy's world famous regions. Tuscany, with its enchanted
landscapes from the mountain to the sea. Tuscany, with its
towns with museums, cathedrals, historical buildings, streets and places
like Florence, Siena, Pisa and more. Tuscany,
full of ancient Etruscan and Roman ruins. But one can not pass through
this land without being aware of Medieval Tuscany. Still visible
are the little walled towns which are a testimony to the Middle Ages just
as the great cities. Castles, fortresses, watch-towers, town walls,
appear everywhere; some are well preserved, others in ruins, but the main
ones are not on the tourist routes. In this site, created to let people
know of the existence and preservation state these testimonies to the
medieval era, you will find history, photos and when possible plans of
some of this fortifications. If you have a medieval related site don't
forget to apply for the 'Web Knight
Award for Excellence'.
