The walls of Casole d'Elsa are ovoid in shape and consist of both the two late 15th-century <strong>towers<\/strong> mentioned above and the Rocca, a 14th-century fortress now housing the town hall. However, a contemporary soul is hidden in this building: the <strong>Arte Viva<\/strong> art gallery, a magnificent collection of drawings and paintings by children from all over the province.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main buildings in the historic centre of Casole is the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta, built in Romanesque-Gothic style in the 12th century. Inside are numerous art works such as those by Beltramo Aringhieri. Near the Collegiate Church is the Rectory, which today houses the Archaeological Museum of the Collegiate Church. Here it is possible to learn about the history of the town and its surroundings thanks to archaeological finds from the Etruscan period and paintings and sculptures of the Sienese school from the 14th to the 16th century. Also not to be missed is the Church of San Niccol\u00f2, which contains frescoes by Vincenzo and Francesco Rustici.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the buildings and the arta, we must recognise the considerable environmental importance of the Casole d'Elsa <strong>woods<\/strong>: the Berignone forest and the woods of the Montagnola Senese.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=\"https:\/\/www.villadisotto.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Casole_dElsa_Villa_di_Sotto_Surroundings.pdf\" button_text=\"Download PDF\" button_alignment=\"center\" _builder_version=\"4.8.2\" custom_button=\"on\" button_text_color=\"#d3b14c\" button_bg_color=\"#ffffff\" button_border_color=\"#d3b14c\" button_icon=\"%%20%%\" background_layout=\"dark\" custom_margin=\"28px|||||\" hover_enabled=\"0\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"3.27.4\" custom_padding=\"0px||0px|||\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"3.27.4\" custom_padding=\"0px||0px|||\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"3.27.4\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.8.2\" text_orientation=\"center\"]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m28!1m12!1m3!1d185672.2451441042!2d11.136903168892987!3d43.35341572295172!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m13!3e0!4m5!1s0x132bcfb5562d131f%3A0xe86612684d6fa43b!2sVilla%20Di%20Sotto%2C%20Villa%20Di%20Sotto%2C%20Via%20di%20Santa%20Caterina%2C%20Villa%20A%20Sesta%2C%20SI!3m2!1d43.384491!2d11.479875!4m5!1s0x132a23dd4c1f5571%3A0x94457291432de505!2s53031%20Casole%20d'Elsa%20SI!3m2!1d43.3426233!2d11.0450266!5e0!3m2!1sit!2sit!4v1613642017567!5m2!1sit!2sit\" width=\"1500\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"3.29.3\" custom_padding=\"||12px|||\" locked=\"off\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"3.29.3\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"3.29.3\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.6\" header_2_font=\"Petit Formal Script|700|||||||\"]<\/p>\n<h2>Continue with the discovery of Chianti...<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog fullwidth=\"off\" posts_number=\"3\" include_categories=\"83\" use_manual_excerpt=\"off\" show_author=\"off\" show_date=\"off\" show_categories=\"off\" show_excerpt=\"off\" _builder_version=\"4.8.2\" header_font=\"|600|on||||||\" header_text_align=\"center\" pagination_font_size=\"18px\"][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Casole d'Elsa Amongst medium and low hills cultivated with vines, olive trees and cerealsCasole d'Elsa was an ancient Etruscan settlement and is still located on the back of a hill that offers a suggestive panoramic view of the Sienese countryside.
