True Confession.........As the sun was setting, the sky was a bit boring and did not give justice to the beautiful city below and since I may not ever come back here I wanted it to be a memorable photo so I replaced the sky with something a bit more interesting (something I RARELY EVER do)

Chiesa di Santa Maria (Church of St. Mary)

The church in the small walled town of Monteriggioni. One of the few towns to have a "town square". Streets were narrow and towns rarely had squares to discourage gathering to plot against the Government.

Front entrance to the walled city of Monteriggioni. The town is completely enclosed with a high wall that originally had 17 look-out towers like this one. Only 11 towers are still intact.

Number 6

One of the original small homes in the town. If you look close on the top of the left wooden door you will see the original # 6 address scratched into the wood.
