Piancastagnaio, Italian comune
Piancastagnaio is a small commune in the Province of Siena in Tuscany, situated on a hilltop in the southern Crete Senesi. The village has a medieval center with narrow streets and old stone buildings clustered around the ancient parish church.
The village emerged in the Middle Ages as a settlement in this hilly region and was shaped by Siena and other local powers. Its occasional modifications reflect the shifting history of Tuscany over the centuries.
The village sits on a hill, so comfortable shoes are recommended for walking its narrow, sometimes steep streets. The best time to explore is early morning or late afternoon when fewer visitors are around.
