Picture of Santa Maria Assunta Church in Monteriggioni

The late Romanesque church of Santa Maria Assunta faces the piazza Roma. It was consecrated sometime between the building of the defensive walls (1213) and 1235, when the peace treaty between Siena, Florence, and Poggibonsi was signed here. Santa Maria Assunta's association with pilgrims tracing the Via Francigena route continues to this day. A notice on the door offers lodging assistance to pilgrims. To the left of the church as you face it is the tourist information office, where you can obtain lodging and other information on Monteriggioni.
