As I walked through the narrow alleyways, the golden sunlight cast a warm glow on the centuries-old buildings. The smooth facades of the architecture seemed to whisper stories of the past, inviting me to immerse myself in the rich history that had shaped the town.

One of the highlights of my visit was exploring the imposing Medici Fortress. Perched on a hilltop, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. From this vantage point, I had a bird’s-eye view of the rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves that stretched as far as the eye could see.
