Rocca di Marciano della Chiana (393 words)
Settlement of Etruscan origin, founded between the 4th and 2rd century b.C. on the western hills of the Chiana valley, Marciano developed during the Roman age thanks to its graceful position along an important branch of the Cassia Adrianea road that served all the Chiana Valley.
During the 15th century Marciano became an important stronghold con the borderline between the territories of Florence and Siena, so the fortified enclosure was strengthened and a new, mighty Rocca built on the north-east corner of the town walls.
The fortified complex Castle/Walled Town, commenced by the Aretine, transformed by the Sienese and carried on by the Florentine in the 15th century,is today still easily to identify.
