By entering from North-West side along Via Dante Alighieri – the ancient Francigena Way – that cuts in two parts the whole ancient village, you encounter the Collegiata Church (12th century) By its Mid day portal it seems to look throughout the main street of the village. As it rose up by a previous romanic parish church, it hides inside a very ancient inlaid wooden choir that was attributed to Antonio Barili from Siena, and on the left side a wooden triptych attributed to Sano di Pietro (15th century). Close to the Collegiata Church you can find the high majestic Chigi Zondadari Palace (17th century), an intrusing big stone box contrasting with the surrounding style of buildings, so poor but even so rich in charm to witness the feudal past of that village. By following the main street you reach Piazza della Libertà, the living centre of the village with the Saint Francesco church in the middle also called Madonna's church as it contains the statue of Madonna di Vitaleta by Andrea della Robbia. From whichever corner of the Square you enter the Horti Leonini, a real jewel among the italian style gardens dated of 1500 and featured by a geometry of box fence leads you to a high porch set as a small holm-oaks wood. In the high part of the garden there are the ruins of the Cassero Tower (it was 39 mt high) as a witness of mutilations suffered by the village during the retirement of German Army in 1944. By following the townwalls that contain the historical centre of San Quirico you reach the Cappuccini Door, a poligon-based rampart. Around San Quirico, within the same Commune, you can find even another interesting village: Bagno Vignoni. Its name comes from Vignoni Castle that you can see high upon the hill f Vignoni Alto and concentrate all around the featuring basin of spa water on the open air, surrounded by houses and shops cast thorugh stone buildings, a church and the porch of Saint Catherine from Siena. A few steps far, towards the Orcia River, you can find the ruins of ancient water mills, noadays included in a museum area.
