The region between Florence and Sienna, the Chianti wine zone, is home to a remarkably high number of castles, fortified farm houses and walled abbeys. Some of these are open to the public.
 
For example, Albola, or better Old Albola, rises above the territory of Radda in Chianti.

The comune of Gaiole in Chianti provides six itineraries taking in many of the castles, walled villages, towers and abbeys of the area.
