Val d'Orcia, Cultural landscape in Province of Siena, Italy

The Val d'Orcia extends across southern Tuscany with gentle hills, vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages connected by winding roads and cypress-lined paths.

The region's development flourished in the 14th century when noble families and merchants established agricultural estates that shaped the current landscape patterns.

Medieval towns like Pienza, Montalcino, and San Quirico d'Orcia maintain traditional festivals celebrating local wine production, agriculture, and regional gastronomy.

Visitors can explore the region through marked trails connecting vineyards and historic villages, with spring and autumn offering clear views and mild temperatures.

The Val d'Orcia's clay formations in Crete Senesi create distinct gray surfaces, forming a landscape that changes color throughout different times of day.
