The Chianti Castles route

La Strada dei Castelli del Chianti

The Chianti castles route is a tourist promotion project developed by the comune of Gaiole in Chianti, drawing its inspiration from the surprising number of castles, fortified farm houses, towers and fortified Abbeys in the area. The comune defined six itineraries that provide a very pleasant way to discover the architecture, history and present way of life of this part of the Chianti area.
