Villa Santa Colomba, Monteriggioni, Renaissance villa in Santa Colomba, Monteriggioni, Italy
Villa Santa Colomba rises as a fortress palace structure with elevated base and tall walls in the Tuscan countryside near Siena.
The villa was constructed between the late 15th and 16th centuries by Pandolfo Petrucci, replacing a castle damaged in 1364 by John Hawkwood's raids.
The church within the complex contains 13th and 14th-century frescoes depicting medicinal plants, saints, and a nativity scene from apocryphal gospels.
Located at Strada di Santa Colomba 2 in Monteriggioni, the villa remains a private property with restricted access for external viewing only.
The church features one of the rare depictions of Saint Ansano, Siena's patron saint, wearing a red toga with the black and white balzana emblem.
