Mattia a local environmental guide, will make you discover the Reserve of Castelvecchio! The woods of San Gimignano guard the ancient ruins of what once was an important medieval city: Castelvecchio. Abandoned for centuries, it has become a ghost village, keeping intact the charm of the past. The stone houses, narrow streets and historic buildings have remained intact, creating a charming and mysterious atmosphere. The village church is still standing, although in ruins, and offers a panoramic view of the surrounding hills. The village of Castelvecchio has become a popular tourist destination for architecture and history lovers who are looking for an experience out of time, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Mattia will make you discover also the wonderful natural reserve that guards the village of Castelvecchio, which includes a varied vegetation and many species of animals even rare as the peregrine falcon and the harrier that locals call Biancone.
