The Monsummano Hill rises from the northern
edge of the Montalbano range where the Nievole Torrent flows onto
the plain. Its characteristic conical shape reaches 340 meters
above sea level.
The ancient castle on the top of the hill, is still protected
by remains of the original elliptical walls in which you can see
the ancient gates. |

Montevettolini
rises from the northern-west face of the Montalbano range about
four kilometers from Monsummano Terme. Montevettolini is a typical
medieval village with a square plan and crowns a hill 187 metres
above sea level. The very fabric of this town shows traces of
its medieval history particurlarly the square bordered by the
church and the ancient town hall. |
