Its good position makes it easy to reach nearby historical and cultural towns.
Situated on a tuffaceous hill 605 meters high, Montepulciano has deep Etruscan origins and because of the many buildings of well-known Renaissance artists is also known as the "Pearl of the Sixteenth Century".
Around its main square, Piazza Grande, there are beautiful buildings such as the City Hall, the Cathedral, started in 1594 from a design by Ippolito Scalza but left unfinished, and other palaces built by Vignola, Sangallo and Peruzzi.
The most impressive church of Montepulciano is the Temple of San Biagio, below the town, toward Pienza.
Montepulciano, with its numerous folk shows, is one of the most important turistic and cultural centers. Among these shows we can remember the concerts of the "Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte" in July and August, the "Bruscello" on the 15th August and the "Bravio delle Botti", a very particular competition among the contradas of the town in which empty barrels are rolled down the main street of the town on the top of this, in Piazza Grande.
Wine is the most known product of Montepulciano and it is very interesting to visit all the cellars under the town where it is possible to taste wine.

During the fifteen century, Pio II, who was born there, wanted to turn that fortified medieval village into a small city. The fabric of the city widened following a regular, urban plan, where the longitudinal street or Corso Rossellino, which linked up the two main gate (Porta al Ciglio and Porta al Prato), assumed a prevailing importance.
