Montemerano

Do you want to take a leap back in time to the medieval era? If yes, you must visit Montemerano, a tiny and spectacular hamlet located in the Maremma area in the Toscana region. When the ancient gate of the village is crossed, it seems that the clock stopped working several centuries ago. Nothing has been changed. Everything is still the same!

So, visiting Montemerano is a fantastic experience that cannot be forgotten for a lifetime, also for the unforgettable environment and nature that surrounds it!

As often happens, the hamlet is located on the top of a hill and its central square, named Piazza del Castello, is really gorgeous because it has not changed and is perfectly maintained and restored.

Another fantastic corner of Montemerano is the San Giorgio church and its square. Here too the feeling of living in an ancient era is very strong and the church is a fantastic example of Romanesque art. The first evidence of this church dates back to around the end of the year 1300.

A Montemerano road sign reads: “Qui il tempo si è fermato e si ascolta il silenzio!” which means “Here time has stopped and you can listen to the silence!”.
