history

The history of the place is closely linked to that of Semifonte , a fortified city in the immediate vicinity of today's Barberino, whose castle was built in 1177 and destroyed by the Florentines in 1202. The place gained importance mainly due to its location on the Roman roads, the Via Regia Romana, the Via Francigena and the Via Chiantigiana, which connect Siena with Florence. Two city gates are still preserved today; the Porta Romana (also called Porta Senese ) is still in its original state, the Porta Fiorentina has been reconstructed.
