History

The town is of medieval origins, as it was founded in the 13th century by the Republic of Siena in a strategical location overlooking the valley towards the Sienese core lands.

Main sights

Sights include the Church of St Michael Archangel, built in the 13th-14th centuries. It houses a series of 14th-century frescoes (1368), attributed to the Sienese painter Biagio di Goro Ghezzi and his workshop and depicting the Stories of St. Michael, a 15th-century crucifix, and other Renaissance paintings. The town has also a line of medieval walls with several towers and gates.

gollark: Hello! As you may know, I am (barely) staff in old esolangs. For transparency purposes I also share some of the staff discussion which goes on there. They recently complained about this; palaiologos apparently wants me to post *full* context for staff discussions instead of my somewhat small screenshots, including retroactively in the case of the rules change discussion since apparently people have been led to believe that the staff weren't mostly in favour of this. Thusly, here you go.
gollark: And also the permissions system, via [REDACTED] beeonic incursions.
gollark: Well, you are in our hearts.
gollark: Baidicoot is a staff however.
gollark: It would have been nice if the original server was okay, but palaiologistry palaiologizes with increasing metapaliologistics.
