Best Pienza Tours in April

The birthplace of Pope Pius II, Pienza is a small village in Tuscany. Originally called Castello di Corsignano, the Pope made the village a Papal residence and transformed it into the Renaissance style in the 1400s. Located in the Val d’Orcia, an untouched valley, Pienza strives to be the ideal utopian city. Here you can visit the parish church where the Pope was baptized, the 15th century Duomo, and the Palazzo Piccolomini – former home to the Pope’s family that is now open to the public.
