You can choose between the setting of the Castle of Monteriggioni, “the Gate to the Middle Ages”, and the absolute uniqueness of the Ospitale of Abbadia Isola, a compelling stop for pilgrims and travellers on the Tuscan section of the Via Francigena.

Within the walls of the castle it is possible to celebrate a civil wedding in the Dante Alighieri room, recently restructured in a historical building. It has a capacity of about 40 seats and offers an intimate and cosy setting. The walls are covered in frescoes by the painter Tommaso Andreini picturing Dante Alighieri and other characters. After the ceremony the newlyweds have the chance to request the use of one of the gardens of the castle for a quick toast with the invitees.

Within the castle there are a few fascinating green corners to celebrate weddings:

The Garden D. Calosi piazzetta Fontebranda is a wide space (about 35 seats) next to the castle walls. At its feet the smaller Garden below the walls (25 seats), a beautiful corner for ceremonies with fewer attendees or for a toast with the guests.

The public garden in Via del Tricolore is the largest space for ceremonies with over 80 guests: a lawn surrounded by olive trees, with one section already equipped with tables and chairs.

ABBADIA ISOLA

In the splendid context of the ancient Monastery on the route of the Tuscan Via Francigena, the municipality of Monteriggioni has made available wonderful venues for intimate and precious ceremonies.
