History & geography

History

The name "Torrita" appears for the first time on a code dated 1037. The castle, subject to the sovereignty and defense of the Republic of Siena, was protected by a wall equipped with squared towers and four gates: Porta a Pago, Porta Gavina, Porta Nuova and Porta a Sole. It was an advanced Siena stronghold (castrum) during the fight against Montepulciano. Later, in 1554, it was conquered by Florence and it was subject since then to the power of the Medici. Starting from the beginning of the 20th century, Torrita di Siena saw a big economic development, especially in woodcraft manufacturing.
